Permissions issue with Volumes

I'm trying to move grafana data to a volume, but grafana refuses to start complaining about the directory being inaccessible:

Starting Container
Mounting volume on: /var/lib/containers/railwayapp/bind-mounts/0181e1c6-9f08-419a-96dd-4c9674a44fab/vol_1c8bj2snj0ah4se7
GF_PATHS_DATA='/var/lib/grafana' is not writable.
You may have issues with file permissions, more information here: http://docs.grafana.org/installation/docker/#migrate-to-v51-or-later
mkdir: can't create directory '/var/lib/grafana/plugins': Permission denied
container event container died

It makes no difference if I mount to /var/lib/grafana or to /data and update ENV vars to point there. There are forum posts suggesting to run container with certain user/group set, so the question is: any way to do this on railway?
