I am moving from an debian-server (odroid) to a proxmox-server. I have a 2tb-ssd for some media in my proxmox, so that is what i did:
- i mounted the smaba-share from my old server in proxmox (not in the lxc “ausiobookshelf”)
- i moved the data from the old server to the lxc-mountpoint “audiobooks” on my proxmox
This worked but now i have trouble to give permissions. In proxmox i can edit the permissions but there is no user “audiobookshelf” in the proxmox-root. In the lxc i have the user “audiobookshelf” but i have no rights to edit the permissions.
Question: What is the best solution to move data to lxc-mountpoints regarding the permissions? Should i use a systemwide user or group? Or should i mount the samba-share from the old server in the lxc?
audiobookshelf is only the beginning. SABnzbd and jellyfin will follow so i ask in common… ;)
Proxmox maps user ids between itself and lxc containers and it took me a bit of time to figure it out. I would highly suggest reading the following link as it’s how I worked it out. I ended up chown’ing to 101000 which maps to user 1000 - the default user - in my lxcs.

Figure out the uid/gid (numeric) for the user in lxc, then change the data permissions to those.
Or should i solve it by chmod instead of owner/group?
