I have a number of monthly manual tasks that I could not automate so far.

One of them is getting PDF from login-protected websites, saving them in specific folders with naming conventions (renaming etc.) and uploading those to my nextcloud.

The script below is for my Electricity Provider's PDFs. They are behind a simple login form (user & pw) and uploaded for the past 6 months. I always forget to check regularly enough to download all.

Proxmox Assign Bind Mount To Unprivileged Container

In order for the LXC container to have full access the proxmox host directory, a subgid is set as owner of a host directory, and an ACL is used to ensure permissions.

Bind Mount dataset to LXC

Add the following line to /etc/pve/lxc/<CT_ID>.conf

mp0:/mount/point/on/host,mp=/mount/point/on/lxc

Create group on host

In the default Proxmox configuration, unpriviliged container subgids will have the prefix "10" followed by the expected 4-digit gid.
