I need some help with my setup please, I am fairly new to selfhosting and the information I found searching hasn’t helped me understand what is wrong. But I have miniPC running proxmox with all my stuff running jellyfin/arr stack etc. I then have another machine running my file share using SMB (maybe this is the wrong way to do it). I can add the share to my datacenter in proxmox and see it and but I cannot get my unprivileged container to write to the share. I can get privileged containers to write when I mount using cifs but this I read this is bad practice.
I have changed permissions on the file share to try give write access, I have tried Option 3 from this link I have been through this reddit thread and others.
Should I just make the lxc’s that need to access the file privileged or is there something I am just not understanding here. I assumed this would be a fairly common setup and be fairly easy to configure but I am often wrong.
Is their a reason why you want to run cifs? I would run NFS3, it’s much faster plus smb /cifs is more for file share between windows and Linux.
There is no reason as far as I learn more this was probably not the best way to set it up but I was just following guides to learn. The goal in the future is to build a bigger storage server and run something like TrueNas. I will look into NFS3 though it could solve some of my problems with the current setup.
