Configures mounts on LXC containers and the host

The role configures mounts on LXC containers and the host. It creates the mount points, mounts the folders and sets the permissions.

The role should be run on the host and on the LXC containers with the role_is_lxc variable set to false or true respectively.

Role Variables

The lxc_mount_is_lxc should be set to true if the role is being run on an LXC container and should be false when run on the (Proxmox) host.

The lxc_mount_mounts should be set to a list of dictionaries containing the src (mount point on the host) and the dest (mount point on the container).

lxc_mount_lxc_id should be set to the ID of the container which the mount should be mounted on.

The lxc_mount_users list should contain the users that should be be added to the mount group (and thus have permissions to access the mount).

lxc_mount_user_uid and lxc_mount_user_gid can be set to the UID and GID of the user that should own the mount points.

lxc_mount_user_name and lxc_mount_user_group can be set to the name of the user and group that should own the mount points.
