Mount Volumes into Proxmox VMs with Virtio-fs

Part of collection: Hyper-converged Homelab with Proxmox

Virtio-fs is a shared file system that lets virtual machines access a directory tree on the host. Unlike existing approaches, it is designed to offer local file system semantics and performance. The new virtiofsd-rs Rust daemon Proxmox 8 uses, is receiving the most attention for new feature development.

Performance is very good (while testing, almost the same as on the Proxmox host)

VM Migration is not possible yet, but it's being worked on!

Installing NFS inside LXC Container on Proxmox 5.1

Host Setup:

Create LXC Container as usual, but do not start it yet.

# Install NFS-Kernel on Host
apt install nfs-kernel-server

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

	# enable ipv6 in dockerd conf:

	# cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
	{
	"ipv6": true,
	"fixed-cidr-v6": "2003::/64" # your ipv6. not sure if this is even necessary
	}

	# reload daemon conf:
	sudo systemctl reload docker.service
