October 8, 20241 yr So I have a couple of Proxmox servers that I want to SECURELY back up to my Unraid server. I have had no luck using SMB at all, and only been able to get an INSECURE setup using a public NFS share. I tried: Setting up NFS private and also secure and I get 'permission denied' errors when I try and backup to this share. The rules are for the 2 IP addresses of my Proxmox servers. I tried changing the owner to 'root' since I'm running as 'root' in Proxmox and also tried 'nobody\'. For SMB I tried Public, Private, and Secure and none of that works. I triple checked my credentials but it makes no difference, despite being able to mount and unmount the share from Proxmox without issue. Below is what I get if I navigate to the share and try and create a file. If I set everything to Public only NFS will work. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
October 17, 20241 yr Author This should be table stakes. Really no response to whether this is a bug? This is such fundamental functionality.
October 22, 20241 yr Author Surely the ability to use Unraid as a storage target using SMB or NFS is supported, no? Using SSH for something like this is royal PITA.
October 22, 20241 yr Community Expert First question: Can you update the Proxmox systems to another system via SMB? If you can, then there is a configuration issue to be addressed on the Unraid side. You can possibly use what works to model what you need. If you can't, then it is likely an issue on the Proxmox side of things which you'll need to figure out an address.

October 23, 20241 yr Community Expert ? lxc pbs system docker pbs system https://www.jdbnet.co.uk/install-proxmox-backup-server-in-an-lxc-container/ This is waht i do you can even add a smb share in proxmox. so open shell make a director i used /data then mount the data location in unraid. so going to /mnt/data is now unraids /mnt/user/proxmox *Edit fs tab to add auto mount... then go to data center > storage add Directory chose /data or just go to datacenter and click add smb / nfs and fill out the prompts...

I can create SMB and NFS shares with security and Proxmox doesn't have an issue using it. The configuration of Shares on Unraid is pretty straightforward and I included the configurations so I'm not sure what else I can check.

I've done all of that and the mount will only work if the share is public.
October 23, 20241 yr Community Expert so you want nfs rules to make a private share this would be the private rule... 192.168.x.x(rw,sec=sys,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash) ^ as this uses what the public sharing is using to work but only apply it to one and only 1 ip address...

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I have multiple servers I want to back this up to.
October 23, 20241 yr Community Expert ? then make another private rule under that one with the ip address of the servers. this way only server you made a "public" Private ip assinged rule can securly access that share. 192.168.x.1(rw,sec=sys,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash) 192.168.x.2(rw,sec=sys,insecure,anongid=100,anonuid=99,all_squash)

October 23, 20241 yr Community Expert Given you were originally trying to do this manually in the CLI, I think the mount folder had incorrect permissions. The GUI does this automatically. Edited October 23, 20241 yr by tjb_altf4

Can I not just comma separate the rules?
