LXC + Docker Containers + Storage - A Crash Course! The Tinker Dad 2022-05-06 | In this video I've tried to collect all the information that can be useful for people to mount and use storage in LXC containers and even in Docker containers nested inside LXC containers! The video is based on Proxmox, but concentrates on LXC containers meaning that you can actually use knowledge shared here without Proxmox. Topics discussed include bind mounts, id mapping, troubleshooting permission and file ownership issues, idmap, subuid/subgid issues, etc.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:35 Background and motivation01:14 Goals and prerequisites02:04 Bind mount basics07:34 Intro to ID maps10:57 An oversimplified example12:06 A full blown example15:15 subuids and subgids18:52 Troubleshooting permission issues21:55 Fake local users / groups27:12 Ownership problems?29:00 umask basics32:10 Mapping host users to LXC containers37:36 Home folder issue caused by idmap41:00 Let's add Docker to the mix!44:22 OutroThis is a particularly hot topic on Reddit and Proxmox forums, yet most people ask questions and the answers are usually scarce.

Multiple port-restricted docker containers on the same host (Minecraft Bedrock Server) The Tinker Dad 2021-04-23 | As a dad with a home lab, I ended up running multiple Minecraft Bedrock Edition (Win10, XBOX) Docker based servers on the same Docker host. These things are restricted to a single port (otherwise the XBOX won't be able to connect to them via the LAN), so the default "bridge" networking of Docker won't cut it this time.
