 Johnny | Still struggling with a container deployment, this time with bind mounts and file ownership.
What I want: Mount a file into a container and have it be owned by a specific user
I found this relevant issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/329530
I'm trying to follow a workaround that was posted there:
bindMounts.localConfig = {
mountPoint = "/run/canteendle/config.local.edn:idmap";
hostPath = "/run/agenix.d/canteendle/config.local.edn";
isReadOnly = true;
};
The file in question on the host is owned by canteendle:canteendle.
Starting this container fails with the following error:
Failed to map ids for bind mount /tmp/nspawn-root-TVO12v/run/canteendle/config.local.edn: Invalid argument
I'm wondering why idmap doesn't work

| Johnny | I feel like I'm misunderstanding these options in general though | 10:39:53 |
| Johnny | Basically I just want the user canteendle inside the container to be able to read a file owned by the host user canteendle. | 10:49:26 |
| Johnny | Ideally without having to set UIDs manually | 10:50:46 |
| Johnny | Another question, can you enable autoUpgrade for a container? | 12:30:43 |

 segfaulty | hello | 00:40:23 |
| segfaulty | Have anyone seen QubesOS Room anywhere? | 00:40:39 |
| segfaulty | Can't find it | 00:40:45 |
 eveeifyeve | No? | 00:41:09 |
| segfaulty | Where do I search? | 00:41:44 |
| segfaulty | Stop ignoring the message | 00:43:52 |
 hexa | drop the attitude | 00:50:46 |
| hexa | I would suggest using a search engine | 00:51:12 |
| hexa | this is nixos, not qubesos | 00:51:15 |
| segfaulty | Can't ask around here! | 00:53:51 |
| segfaulty | sorry | 00:53:58 |
| segfaulty | It's not like they compete with you or something! | 00:54:28 |
| hexa | it's not about the competition, we just don't know because we're not part of their commujnity | 00:58:26 |
| hexa | * it's not about the competition, we just don't know because we're not part of their community | 00:58:29 |
| hexa | we're not qubesos users in fact, so we don't have a need to be in their community | 00:58:44 |
| segfaulty | ok, m8 | 01:00:02 |
| segfaulty | It seems like the rooms search list of Element gives too little results. Maybe I should add other servers for a bigger search list? | 01:02:19 |
| hexa | maybe they're not on matrix | 01:05:15 |
| hexa | https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/introduction/support.html | 01:06:02 |
| segfaulty | Yeah, they're not, I assumed there will be some unofficial community, or something. I'll continue my journey in SimpleXChat or something 😆 | 01:14:49 |
| segfaulty | Sorry! | 01:14:55 |
