UR SMB share mounted on Ubuntu, files owned by account that mapped share, default permissions and UMASK frustrations!

I have a media share in UR that a remote Ubuntu system, running Tdarr in a container. I have the media drive mapped using an allowed user account in the UR server. Tdarr can access all the files, and it's chugging through everything. But I am seeing that all the files Tdarr pushes over are flagged as created by the user account that was used to mount the share.

 

There's no 'nobody' account in the UR users list. If there's a default password for the nobody account, I am not aware of it.

 

How can I get this remote container to create the files as nobody? Is this even a problem, as I thought it was?

 

Also, I've been wracking my brain trying to find out how to configure the permissions on the Ubuntu server so that it creates files with the correct permissions. By default, the umask on the Ubunutu is 022. I tried setting the Tdarr container to 0000, which wouldn't work as the default in Ubuntu is 0775/0664. I've found several sites that walked through setting the default umask for the system with no success. I've set the Tdarr container to run as 99:100 and tried 0:0, but neither made any difference. All files are created as 0775/0664. While this isn't stopping the files from moving to the UR share, it shows different permissions once moved over.
