Sharing Files beteween unprivileged containers - "delay" option?

[jonas88]

Hello

I try to mount a folder from lxc 100 to my node and then use it with mpx in lxc 101.
It works but only after i manually "mount -a" on the node.

It is clear to my why it does not work (the target of the smb share is not yet online when the node boots).

should i tinker a dirty delay script or is there a better way?

Thank you!

The is the Startup delay setting under container Options, Start/Shutdown Order. The Help button explains what it is for: Defines the interval between this container start and subsequent containers starts. For example, set it to 240 if you want to wait 240 seconds before starting other containers.

Hello and thank you for your response!
I found the option but it only helps partially.

Relevant are 3 lxc containers. the configuration faces me with some problems.

Openhab lxc (my smart home server) - i want to mount it to my docker lxc so i can manage the logs with loki.
Docker LXC Filesystem shall be available on the CodeServer LXC

I set openhab lxc to prio 1 (no delay)
Docker to prio 10 (60 s delay)
and code server lxc to prio 20 (120 s delay)

I tried this fstab:

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/pve/root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/pve/swap none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

//192.168.1.112/Docker            /mnt/docker            cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=100001,gid=100001,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target 0 0
//192.168.1.113/openHAB-conf      /mnt/openhab_conf      cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=100001,gid=100001,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target 0 0
//192.168.1.113/openHAB-userdata  /mnt/openhab_userdata  cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=100001,gid=100001,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target 0 0
//192.168.1.113/openHAB-logs      /mnt/openhab_logs      cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=100001,gid=100001,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target 0 0

192.168.1.20:/volume2/Filme /mnt/movies nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0

But it won't let docker and code server start.

I also tried without the options at the end - so docker and code server lxc's start again (but unfortunately the volumes are not mountet in the node):

 <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/pve/root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/pve/swap none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

//192.168.1.112/docker            /mnt/docker            cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=100001,gid=100001,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8 0 0
//192.168.1.113/openHAB-conf      /mnt/openhab_conf      cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=100001,gid=100001,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8 0 0
//192.168.1.113/openHAB-userdata  /mnt/openhab_userdata  cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=100001,gid=100001,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8 0 0
//192.168.1.113/openHAB-logs      /mnt/openhab_logs      cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=100001,gid=100001,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8 0 0

192.168.1.20:/volume2/Filme /mnt/movies nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0

Here's the proof that it does not mount (2nd fstab)

root@pve:~# cd /mnt
root@pve:/mnt# ls
docker  movies  openhab_conf  openhab_logs  openhab_userdata  pve  vzsnap0
root@pve:/mnt# cd docker

root@pve:/mnt/docker# cd ..
