I am struggling to access a smb server with podman. I have it mounted on the host using fstab, but many podman containers refuse to access with permission issues, even setting uid:gid to 1000:1000 and giving ownership with unshare.

Any hint? I know there's not much detail, but I think I'm missing something fundamental

Check out this blog post which details how uids work within rootless containers. It's useful troubleshooting knowledge to have.

Could be an SELinux issue. Look up mounting with the :z/:Z option.

Tried that :(.

Seems to be something about the smb share itself, because of I point to a folder on the drive it works, only fails when it's a mounted samba share.

I'll need to make a post with ask the details, thanks in any case!
