Need some help with my setup

[curiouscase]

I have an Optiplex SFF as a Proxmox Node. I have a Privileged Ubuntu LXC (setup using helper script) on a SATA drive. On another SATA drive I have a hard disk. I am running a docker with Gluetun and transmission on the Ubuntu LXC and I have the Hard drive mapped on my docker as /mnt/sdb1/media/ for downloading the torrent data.

When I tried to download a torrent I get permission denied (13) error in my transmission client. Then, I set the permission for the whole sbd1 using Chown to be allowed for UID and PID 1000 which is what I am using in docker. However, I still got that error. Later I tried chmod 777 as well still I get the same error.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong with this setup?

Hi,
could you post the output of

• pct config <ID of your Ubuntu LXC>
• ls -la /mnt/sdb1/media in LXC
• ls -la <wherever the mounted directory is on the host>

Running Docker in a container is warned against in the documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_pct . Helper-scripts are not provided or supported by Proxmox. Maybe you can ask the developers/maintainers of the scripts for help: https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/ ?

I went ahead with a VM instead and have setup everything now.
