Permission denied to upload with Docker Swarm and NFS

I recently got a new minipc and am in the process of trying (and failing) to migrate services to it. The problem is that I want storage to be on the nas machine (running truenas) still and that opened up a can of worms I was not ready for 😅

I decided to try using Docker Swarm because I need a few other services to run directly on the nas, while being accessible through the traefik instance on the minipc and this seemed like a sensible way to do that.
For storage, I'm creating NFS shares on the truenas machine and then mounting them using docker as volumes.
Something somewhere is wrong I honestly have no idea what's happing, but I'm getting this error
