Hi,

I currently building my home lab and I have multiple vm (unprivileged) that share a proxmox's directory :
  • qBittorrent
  • Sonarr
  • Radarr
  • Jellyfin
I've found a solution for the unprivileged problem with this topic :

https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/1m8pkqw/yet_another_dumb_unprivileged_lxc_mount/

So with the command "chown -R 101000:101000 /mnt/hostStorage" I could write on the mounted folders from VMs.
Step 1 : ok

After this first step, I had set up samba on host to see these folders from my pc with an user : sambauser.
I could connect to smb share from my computer but I couldn't write on these folders.

So I edited the id of this user to 101000 to match the permission of smb's folder and be able to write on them.

But...

Now I can't write on the mounted folders from VMs anymore. I guess I broke something by changing the id of sambauser.

Do you have an idea how to combine the two features ? And how to repare the step 1 ?

Thanks for your help.

Edit : I've found a solution with this site :
