Hello,
for special reasons I installed Thunderbird in a separate lxc container. The /home dir is mounted from the host.
I can use Nitrokey for signing at host but not from lxc container. I can see the Nitrokey via lsusb in the container too.
I can’t see it via gpg --card-status in the container.
gnupg, libccid, nitrokey-app
All things are installed from Debian bookworm.
I hope someone can help.
Kind regards
Mechtilde

Hi @Mechtilde, I am not an expert on lxc, but maybe something like this may help?
