Docker Container Permissions with Shares Across VMs

I am new to Proxmox and in the throes of the learning curve. I have an
Openmediavault VM serving up my shares. Most of them are SMB because
I'm on a mixed network, but the one share that I hope to use for
Docker data is NFS. Both the SMB shares and the NFS share are shared
with an Ubuntu Server VM where I installed Docker and Portainer. I
have the SMB shares mounted in Ubuntu Server using the following
commands:

    //192.168.1.145/TV /TV cifs username=[username],password=[password
],vers=2.0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
    //192.168.1.145/Books /Books cifs username=[username],password=[pa
ssword],vers=2.0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
    //192.168.1.145/Pictures /Pictures cifs username=[username],passwo
rd=[password],vers=2.0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
    //192.168.1.145/Music /Music cifs username=[username],password=[pa
ssword],vers=2.0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
    //192.168.1.145/Videos /Videos cifs username=[username],password=[
password],vers=2.0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
    //192.168.1.145/Movies /Movies cifs username=[username],password=[
password],vers=2.0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

 I have the NFS share mounted in Ubuntu Server using:

    sudo mount 192.168.1.145:/export/AppData /AppData

 This is the share I'm using to store Docker container data.


When I try to create Docker containers, I'm running into permissions
errors. The logs in a Plex container show issues with permissions:

    Code:
    [migrations] started
    [migrations] no migrations found

 My questions, from specific to general are as follows:
1. What is the solution to my permissions issues with the Plex Docker
container?
2. How can I address the permissions issues with my Docker containers?
3. Are my SMB and NFS shares between the two VMs a decent solution?
4. Am I setting myself up for headaches with two VMs?
5. For someone who wants a NAS and some containers running: Plex,
jDownloader, qBittorrent, Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr among others, would
a different solution be easier?


Thank you for the help and Merry Christmas.
