-## How to config Synology for NFS

+
+Due to issue from idmapping, NFS customization on Synology is given up. I will directly use Synology's official NAS setting in WebGUI. And set all visitor either as admin or guest

+## 0. Knowledge Center:  How to config NFS server and client
 
 Synology's DSM WebGUI has capability to set NFS configuration to allow Linux to access files on Synology NAS, follow [tutorial: How to access files on Synology NAS within the local network (NFS)](https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/File_Sharing/How_to_access_files_on_Synology_NAS_within_the_local_network_NFS)
 
 But the GUI's feature is limited. We need more fine tuning. Following [NFS: Overview and Gotchas](http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/nfs.htm), we can set Synology properly. (If the URL is broken, we can refer to [NFS: Overview and Gotchas in repo](/source/NFS_Overview/NFS\ Overview\ and\ Gotchas.htm)

-## Current solution
+## 1. Current solution for mapping Synology NFS to Ubuntu (desktop or laptop)
 
-Due to limitation of NFS4.0, idmapping is too hard (mismatch between server and client's uid/gid), and kerberos authentication is too hard to setup. The only solution is NFS+`chown`
+Due to limitation of NFS4.0, idmapping is too hard (mismatch between server and client's uid/gid) to configure at server side, and kerberos authentication is too hard to setup.

+For plex server:

+1. Follow Synology official guide + youtube to set NFS permission
+   1. add ip address of Proxmox only, no need to add ip address of the LXC within it)
+   2. Choose squash as "map all user to admin"
+2. Mount NFS to Proxmox by go to Datacenter->Storage->Add->NFS, choose different content types.
+3. Modify LXC config file after creation of LXC to add mounting point
+   1. Following [Bind Mount Points](https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Linux_Container#_bind_mount_points) to setup bind mount point in config file (in `/etc/pve/lxc`)

+e.g. 102.conf

+```
+arch: amd64
+cores: 2
+hostname: plexserver
+memory: 1024
+mp0: /mnt/pve/NAS_media,mp=/mnt/nas_media

+ostype: ubuntu
+rootfs: local-lvm:vm-102-disk-0,size=8G
+swap: 512
+unprivileged: 1

-For plex server, I need to align LXC's uid and gid with Synology
