We will be creating our storage server as an LXC under Proxmox with dedicated physical drives on the physical server.
(NOTE: any file/folder names in bold & italic here are examples of what I'm doing on a local system & may be different depending on YOUR needs...)
Building the LXC under Proxmox
Configuring the LXC
Configure this as a Privileged container.
Under Options / Features, turn on Nesting, NFS & SMB/CIFS.
It will simply your life if you can set up local users matching each network user that will be accessing this server. On my network, there are only 3 users that match this criteria. But, you may want to look into kerberos or some such.
Setting up dedicated drives
- Create the starting points
sudo mkdir /Backupssudo mkdir /Mediasudo mkdir /Documents
- Create the folders to be shared
sudo mount -o bind /mnt/Storage-3/Cecil-Backup/ /Backups/Cecilsudo mount -o bind /mnt/Storage-3/Cleanup-Space/Photos /Media/Photos- etc, etc, etc...
