Proxmox Rclone Mounts in LXC (piefed.social)

I realize that Proxmox suggests not to run rclone inside an LXC because it might cause problems backing up/snapshotting that container, but that’s not a concern of mine at the moment.

The issue I am running into is the following:

  1. Used Proxmox helper script to create Plex LXC, it worked flawlessly.

  2. Installed docker inside that LXC and pulled Zurg. Yes, I know it’s not recommended but I am not spinning up a whole docker vm for just this service.

  3. I then use Zurg to mount my box to /mnt/zurg and I start seeing its contents shortly after.

Now the problem is I have only 8GBs assigned to the Plex LXC which should be more than plenty. What’s happening is that the container is reporting to be full because of the rclone mount (~1TB in size) which is preventing write operations to the LXC.

This wasn’t an issue when I hosted those same two services on my ol’ trusty RPi-3B as it didn’t account for the size of the mount when doing df but for some reason the Plex LXC does.

Has anyone run across this before? What’s a good solution or workaround?

Thank you

I’m not familiar with Zurg, but the WebDAV connection makes me recall: doesn’t LXC require that the FUSE kernel module be loaded in order to use WebDAV?

I’ve also seen it recommended that WebDAV be setup on the host and then the mount points bind mounted into the container. Not sure if any of that helps, but maybe it’ll lead you somewhere.
