I am trying to mount a directory from Proxmox host to an unprivileged LXC (Proxmox 7)
From this page - Unprivileged LXC containers it seems like all I need to do is to add
pct set 100 -mp0 /mnt/bindmounts/shared,mp=/shared
To the LXC configuration file.
I did this:

102.conf
Code:
arch: amd64
cores: 8
features: keyctl=1,nesting=1
hostname: docker
memory: 8224
mp0: /mnt/bindmounts/shared,mp=/shared
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,hwaddr=F2:5F:0C:03:19:CC,ip=dhcp,type=veth
onboot: 1
ostype: debian
rootfs: proxthin:vm-102-disk-0,size=1000G
startup: order=1,up=600
swap: 512
unprivileged: 1

On Proxmox host:
Code:
root@pve:~# ls -l /mnt/bindmounts/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 24 20:52 shared

Inside LXC I see:
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nogroup 4096 Oct 24 20:52 shared

But when I am trying to write I don't have permission
Code:
root@docker /# touch shared/a.txt
touch: cannot touch 'shared/a.txt': Permission denied

I would be grateful if someone could help me with this
 
the reason is that in unprivileged containers, the users are mapped to different id, so that privileged users in the container are really unprivileged users outside.
check this wiki page for some examples how to configure things: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Unprivileged_LXC_containers

@dcsapak Thank you for the replay. I checked this wiki page and as far as I understand it says that for default configuration all users will be mapped to nobody . That is perfectly fine for me. I don't need permission inside the container. I only
