I’m trying to setup my first homeserver with pods alone but I can’t add my mounted /data (it’s an external HDD) folder to the root folder, but the /app and /config works. It’s a common issue but somehow I wasn’t able to solve it.
OS: Rocky Linux 9.3
External HDD (WD Elements)
external HDD in /etc/fstab:
# WD Elements drive
UUID=4655386a-5ccf-4c7b-ad6a-c0b90ccf8454 /home/privatenoob/media/storage1 xfs defaults 0 0

chown -R 1000:1000 /data didn’t work. It gave permission denied, even though I used root (probably this is because of -e PUID=1000?)
Are you doing rootless or rootfull podman? I am doing rootless and I have the following in my radarr container - PUID=0 PGID=0
I’m doing rootless most likely, I just use the default Rocky Linux 9 setup with the Container Tools option turned on while the setup process. This didn’t work either for me. Did you start the service in sudo systemctl or in systemctl --user mode? Thanks for your help!
Hey, sorry for the late reply. I am running rootless using a dedicated user, so I use systemctl --user to control the container.
From what I understand, when running rootless the root user inside the container correlates to the outside user (which is running the container), in terms of permissions. The external directories I bind mount into the container as externally owned by my dedicated user, so that the root user inside the container owns them (inside the container).
