  • That reddit thread is horrible advice, it’s just mapping the LXC root user to the host root user, which is just a privileged LXC with extra steps (and maybe less secure).

    The reason you’re probably having issues is that your root user in the LXC is mapped to the host user 100000 by default, and that user doesn’t have access to the share, but you can change that with mount options or creating a user with 100000:100000 and adding it to a group with access.





  • This has strong “nobody needs a monitor over 120Hz because the human eye can’t see it” logic. Transparency is completely subjective and people have different perceptions and sensitivities to audio and video compression artifacts. The quality of the hardware playing it back is also going to make a difference, and different setups are going to have a different ceiling for what can be heard.

    The vast majority of people are genuinely going to hear zero difference between even 320kbps and a FLAC but that doesn’t mean there actually is zero difference, you’re still losing audio data. Even going from a 24-bit to a 16-bit FLAC can have a perceptible difference.










  • I use notifications in Thunder and I’ve had no issues. I haven’t compared the difference or anything, but when I’ve happened to check battery usage it’s always been a reasonable amount for how much I’ve used it that day. It does generate a decent amount of network traffic since it’s regularly checking with you instance for it, and that traffic is generated for each account you have reaching out to each instance. That should be how any FOSS app works though, the alternative would be something like Sync where you pay to have actual pushes sent from their server.


  • I use Nextcloud with Nginx Proxy Manager and just use NPM to handle the reverse proxy, nothing in Nextcloud other than adding the domain to the config so it’s trusted.

    I use Plex instead of Jellyfin, but I stream it through NPM with no issues. I can’t speak to the tunnel though, I prefer a simple wireguard tunnel for anything external so I’ve never tried it.

    Edit: unless that’s what you mean by tunnel, I was assuming you meant traefik or tailscale or one of the other solutions I see posted more often, but I think one or both of those use wireguard under the hood.


  • The issue is that the docker container will still be running as the LXC’s root user even if you specify another user to run as in the docker compose file or run command, and if root doesn’t have access to the dir the container will always fail.

    The solution to this is to remap the unprivileged LXC’s root user to a user on the Proxmox host that has access to the dir using the LXC’s config file, mount the container’s filesystem using pct mount, and then chown everything in the container owned by the default root mapped user (100000).

    These are the commands I use for this:

    find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type f -exec chown username {} +;
    find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type d -exec chown username {} +;
    find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type l -exec chown -h username {} +;
    find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type f -exec chown :username {} +;
    find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type d -exec chown :username {} +;
    find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type l -exec chown -h :username {} +
    

    (Replace xxx with the LXC number and username with the host user/UID)

    If group permissions are involved you’ll also have to map those groups in the LXC config, create them in the LXC with the corresponding GIDs, add them as supplementary groups to the root user in the LXC, and then add them to the docker compose yaml using group_add.

    It’s super confusing and annoying but this is the workflow I’m using now to avoid having to have any resources tied up in VMs unnecessarily.
