I Have three containers set up ready to go just need to be able to feed the proper media into them.
CT 100 is plex pct set 100 -mp0 /mnt/pve/media11/,mp=/100/mnt/media
CT 101 is mstream pct set 101 -mp0 /mnt/pve/media11/,mp=/101/mnt/media
CT 103 is filemanager pct set 103 -mp0 /mnt/pve/media11/,mp=/103/mnt/mediatransfer
these are my three containers and the commands i used to get my mounts set up.
when i transferred all my files into the directory using CT 103 i could view two new folders plex & notplex from the other containers however from CT 100 and CT 101 i could not see any of the folders or loose files past that point. for example "/100/mnt/media/plex" would just appear empty same with "/101/mnt/media/notplex".
I also tried something called a recursive mount which is what google came up with which described a mount like this
lxc.mount.entry: /path/on/host /path/in/container none rbind,create=dir,optional 0 0
to add to my container config file. however the container either for whatever reason isnt using the config file i edited or ignored the mount i guess because the mount point was no accessible at all.
addendum:
Welp I made it worse I nuked the system and started a fresh install and everything was working until i redone my mount points but at least i documented everything i done this time. because now my container logins dont work either.
