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.

      I believe you’re correct. I didn’t realize that I had my containers set to privileged. That would explain why I’ve never had issues with mounting shares.
