hello,

is anybody running pbs in a proxmox pve container and using a bind mount from the proxmox host for pbs datastore?

if that works at all, how does it compare to native performance ?

i have running pbs in a VM with an external usb disk attached via block-device-passtrough/mapping , but i'd like to have a more lightweight approach.

i never have used containers because i did not get comfortable with those, but i started using them and start liking them. and i'd like to start using them for getting expertise...
 
I'm running two PBSs in privileged LXC but without bind-mounts. But I don't see why bind-mounting shouldn't work. Just keep the user remapping in mind when bind-mounting with unprivileged LXCs and that the folder then needs to be owned by UID 100034 so this will map to the "backup" user (UID 34) inside the Debian 11 LXC. And you need to enable the "nesting" feature.
