NTFS Shared Mount Permission issues for Docker in CT

[batou069]

Hi,

Not sure what logs or docs to add, please lmk what might help to better understand the issue.

I'm running an unprivileged Ubuntu 22.04 Container Template with docker & docker-compile, everything installed as per docker docs instructions.
I'm running the Arr suite (Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Readarr, Bazarr) + qbittorrent from one docker-compile yml file.
The container has folder from a 2nd HDD mounted to it . That drive is also a Directory/Storage in Proxmox Gui) where data was already in, NTFS partition.

The conf file has:

mp0: /mnt/Files/data,mp=/mnt/data

so /mnt/Files is the HDD & Proxmox storage, /mnt/Files/data/ is the folder mounted to the container.

Volumes, Env & Folder structure are all set up to support hard linking & atomic moves.

In the container I created a new user PUID&PGID=1000, all docker containers have the same Timezone, I tried both where all containers are run by the same PUID&PGID and also with different PUIDs but a shared GUID. My user is in the sudoer file and I can run docker without sudo.

Everything works except for actually downloading a file, Qbittorrent errors & I bet that it's a Permission Issue.

What I tried:
The folders in the shared mount are owned by user:nobody & group:nogroup so I tried changing permissions there but nothing worked:

From Proxmox Shell

addgroup --gid 1000 data

chgrp -R data /mnt/Files/data/

setfacl -Rm g:1000:rwx,d:g:1000:rwx /mnt/Files/data/

chmod -R 2775  /mnt/Files/data/

but the user & group dont change names.

I also tried moving the containers from the bridge network to a macvlan network as per this YT tutorial. I gave it an IP out of my Pihole DNS & DHCPs range but when I came to the point to do

dhcpcd eth1

I got this error:

eth1: if_init: Read-only file system
eth1: interface not found or invalid

Not sure anymore what to do. Could it be the NTFS share? Would it be easier to dedicate a VM for running containers?
Anyone can share how he got this to work?

Thanks

HI,
two questions:

• Can you create a file on the share you want to download to touch test_file?
• What does your container config look like pct config <container id>?

I solved this issue by deactivating preallocate disc space in qBittorrent. Not sure why this was the case, but everything works now

thank you
