This is my first post. I've been dabbling with Proxmox for about a year now, and have usually been able to find the answers I need in the excellent documentation or the abundance of community discussions. While there is a lot of documentation and community resources for what I'm trying to do, I think I've messed up some subtle detail and I'm in too deep to see it.
My goal is to have Nextcloud do auto backups of media on my phone/PC, but when Nextcloud tries to create dir/files the permissions end up as

The Truenas VM, PVE host and Nextcloud CT all have a user truenas with uid/gid 7000/7000.
I have a mounted the Truenas VM NFS share on the PVE host and set chown -R 7000:7000 for the share:

Someone was talking about doing the share with a iSCSI device, but it wasn't clear to me how that would work.
I'm open to other ideas to accomplish this. I want a Nextcloud group to be able to access the Truenas storage, and also get photos backups from phones in Nextcloud to the Truenas storage.

On the Nextcloud CT, it is using the
www-data
account to create files, I've added it to the truenas
group:
Bash:
root@nc ~# id www-data
uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),109(redis),7000(truenas)
root@nc ~# id root
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),7000(truenas)
root@nc ~#
What am I lacking to allow the
www-data
user to create files and directories on the share with the right privliges?I understand that making this container privileged would make this easier, but it seems like it's so close to working this way.
