Radarr: Path: Folder '/data/' is not writable by user 'abc' (www.startpage.com)

I'm trying to setup my first homeserver with pods alone but I can't add my mounted /data (it's an external HDD) folder to the root folder, but the /app and /config works. It's a common issue but somehow I wasn't able to solve it.

OS: Rocky Linux 9.3

External HDD (WD Elements)

external HDD in /etc/fstab:

# WD Elements drive
UUID=4655386a-5ccf-4c7b-ad6a-c0b90ccf8454 /home/privatenoob/media/storage1 xfs defaults 0 0

radarr.service:

[Unit]
Description=Radarr Movie Server
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=podman run --name=radarr -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 -e UMASK=002 -p 7878:7878 -v radarr-config:/config -v /home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek:/data --restart unless-stopped lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
ExecStop=podman stop radarr
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Permissions:

drwxr-xr-x. 2 privatenoob privatenoob 6 Jan 17 16:52 Filmek

drwxr-xr-x   4 abc    users    139 Jan 18 19:44 config
drwxr-xr-x   2 root   root       6 Jan 17 15:52 data

chown -R 1000:1000 /data didn't work. It gave permission denied, even though I used root (probably this is because of -e PUID=1000?)

I'm doing rootless most likely, I just use the default Rocky Linux 9 setup with the Container Tools option turned on while the setup process. This didn't work either for me. Did you start the service in sudo systemctl or in systemctl --user mode? Thanks for your help!

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I am running rootless using a dedicated user, so I use systemctl --user to control the container. From what I understand, when running rootless the root user inside the container correlates to the outside user (which is running the container), in terms of permissions. The external directories I bind mount into the container as externally owned by my dedicated user, so that the root user inside the container owns them (inside the container).
