Hi,
I try to set up a NAS-functionality in proxmox.
I want to go after this Tutorial: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/tutorial-unprivileged-lxcs-mount-cifs-shares.101795/
I want to use NFS instead of SMB but I already get stuck when setting up the nfs server.
My question is: Can I set up a NFS server in an unprivileged LXC running some debian or turnkey fileserver?
I am very new to proxmox and everybody is writing: use unprivileged container.
In my testcases I never get the nfs-server running:
What is the best way to go?
If possible I don't want to use a VM.
And - my current understanding - you cannot run a nfs server in an unprivileged container. Is it possible to use unprivileged LXC for SMB server? Is this the reason most people use SMB instead of NFS? I don't really want to use SMB stuff ...
Thank you so far. I read a lot in the forum and Tutorials, but they all just show how to mount in an unprivileged lxc container. but never a word about the server-container-side.
