Share smb with hosts

[proxmoxertj]

I created a SMB/CIFS share from my NAS. In the Client VM - CT Ubuntu how to add access to this mount point. It seems all I would need to do is this but in the VM I go to that directory and it is empty.

If this is not the way then how would I go about doing this? I want to share this mount across multiple VMs.

hi,

you want to make a bind mount for that [0], which isn't possible over the GUI for now.

you can use the our CLI tool pct for containers: pct set 999 -mp0 /media/proxmox_share,mp=/media/mynewname will create a mountpoint inside the container pointing to the /media/proxmox_share on your PVE host.

if you want to do that instead in a VM, you will probably just have to mount it inside the VM like a normal fileshare, or do a disk passthrough. though i wouldn't recommend this setup if all you want to do is passing a share.

Thanks for the information.

Reading about how this is probably not the best solution. So also looking into how to create a local disk storage and share access to the VMs then note all the uid, etc. issues. So, thinking I may just use a CT Ubuntu and rsync files there.

I have several VMs with output from jobs, etc. that I need in a central location. This central location will feed a elastic dashboard. rSync maybe the best solution from what I am researching. I dont need to store large amounts of data, talking ~20MB/day.
