Hello all,
## Brief Explanation
i am trying to do a basic ZFS Pool setup to use for my VM Ubuntu
after a great ammount of search on the internet i realised some uses specific folders set up inside the zfs pool in the proxmox terminal.
so it would be better used on the ubuntu vm .
Since i am trying to do a media server setup i need to install share file/folders
Something like this. =
what i came so far was to use this type of folder creation inside proxmox so i can mount link and do my docker setup in these folders that are specifically configured
### Here is the full list of checks that showcases configurations;
```
root@proxmox:~# zfs list -o name,used,avail,mountpoint,compression,atime | grep docker-vm

## Issue and Questions
### I am lost on how to mount and connect
from my base setup attempt as an lxc container i can find tutorials since i can specifiy mount points on lxc
but after trying for an lxc setup for a week and with the docker isue that happened i decided to be safe and sound and use vm instead
but in VM mount can only be done as a virtual disk . so how can i showcase specific folder structure i have created on the proxmox itself so it can be used
### am i just waisting time setting up like this ?
i just want to future proof it so the files can be easliy moved and managed.
### funny part i even went to ai to see if he can guide
but after seing the recomendation of formatting the entire folder structure in the vm i gave up on that route as well.
