[lxc-users] LXD share /var/lib/mysql from host to container and map user/group

Hi Andrey, I appreciate the help, thank you.

Well basically, the host dir belongs to mysql:mysql user/group. When
its added to the container as a shared dir, the ownership changes to
nobody:nogroup. The mysql/mariadb daemon can not work with those
permissions, it needs to be mysql:mysql. So what I want to do is map
this correctly so the data-dir will continue to have mysql:mysql
ownership within the container too. Whats the best way to accomplish
this?
