NFS server on Alpine LXC not starting

[mlazzarotto]

I have a new LXC container with Alpine. It is not unprivileged, and with NFS and SMB/CIFS features enabled.
I installed the server with apk add nfs-utils and edited the exports file.

When I run rc-service nfs start, it fails with the following error:

fileserver:~# rc-service nfs start
 * Starting NFS statd ... * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/sbin/rpc.statd'
 * Failed to start NFS statd
                                                               [ !! ]
 * ERROR: rpc.statd failed to start
 * ERROR: cannot start nfs as rpc.statd would not start

I'm in the exact same boat.

Create container as privileged, in ct configuration set apparmor profile as unconfined and apply these other "relaxations".

I don't really know what these configurations can cause and if they harm your setup but I don't worry because I'm using them in a protected environment.

I can confirm that it works on Proxmox 7.3 and alpine 3.17 container
