Mount an SMB share and use iGPU on an unprivileged Debian 12 LXC container in Proxmox

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Pre-requisites:

Create an unprivileged Debian 12 LXC container.

Inside the LXC container, use the root user to create a non-root user with your name. In the case of mine I wanted to add it to the sudo and docker groups after installing Docker inside the LXC container.

useradd -s /bin/bash -m -G sudo,docker ismael

Change the user password to whatever you need.

su ismael
passwd

This user’s default UID:GID will be 1000:1000. If not, create it with:

If at some point Proxmox loses connectivity with an SMB/CIFS share, it will not restore the connection by itself until a restart of the Proxmox node is performed.

With this tip, you’ll make the Proxmox node restore the connection automatically.

In your node’s shell, create a bash script that looks for mount points in /mnt/pve/ and unmounts them if they become stale:

nano remount.sh
