Hello,
first of all my system is working as desired, but I'm not sure if I did it correct in terms of safety.
I use a tv card in a privileged lxc container to deploy a hard disk recorder using the linux based project vdr (tvdr).
/etc/pve/lxc/101.conf contains the following two lines at the end to grant access to the tv card.
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 212:* rwm
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dvb dev/dvb none bind,optional,create=dir
After this was able to access the tv card by root user.
To gain access to a user running the vdr service (username vdr), I created a user on proxmox server called "vdr" with the same gid and uid as in the lxc container. I added this user to the group root and I did chown -R vdr:root /dev/dvb/adapter0 and chown -R vdr:root /dev/dvb/adapter0 on the prxmox server.
Since this I'm also able to access the tv card with the user running the vdr service inside the lxc container.
Is this okay or a bad solution?
Thanks for advice
Best regards
