Hi Tycho, thank you for your fast response.
My id on the host is indeed 1000. I read your blog article and then had a look at /etc/subuid: before: "me@host:~$ cat /etc/subuid lxd:100000:65536 root:100000:65536 me:165536:65536" after: "me@host:~$ cat /etc/subuid lxd:100000:65536 root:100000:65536 me:165536:65536 root:1000:1" root seems to be already set up, maybe this is due to lxd being installed on ubuntu 16.04? It would be really helpful if you could explain to me what the mapping defined in this file really does. Does it make a difference if I add your line, or use the one already there? How does this file use the numbers (100000 and 65536)? Does 1000:1 tell ubuntu to map the id 1 to 1, if so, what does 100000:65536 mean? Add 65536 to the 100000? If there is a user called "me" in the conatainer, does a line "me:1000:1" work as well? I appreciate any help. with kind regards, John P.S.: I answered to the mailing list, is this the right way to do it, or should I answer to you directly? Am 20.12.2016 um 22:52 schrieb Tycho Andersen:

I would like to pass the directory through to each container and allow the users to write and read on it. The network connection should be done using macvlan. The howtos I have read so far show how to set up lxd, which works very well on my 16.04 host. Starting a container works out of the box as unpriviliged user as well.My questions:Is it even possible to share one directory on the host with several container? All the howtos I could find mention some commands, that need to be applied, but they do not tell me about the commands I need to type in to make it work:"That means you can create a container with the following configuration: lxc.id_map = u 0 100000 65536 lxc.id_map = g 0 100000 65536" There is a big list of possible options on github, but where does it tell how to apply them?Does someone know a detailed howto, that describes a similiar setup likemine?http://tycho.ws/blog/2016/12/uidmap.html is a blog post I wrote a while ago talking about how to set this up with your home directory. You can mimic the settings for whatever user map you want, though. Cheers, TychoEvery time I read something, I feel like missing something important, because I could not find a coherent compendium of possible options on how to do something.kind regards,John _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
