You need to change the permissions of your bind mounted directory on your host system, see the readme. Copy pasted:

mkdir data
touch data/config.json
# Owned by user ID of Docker container (1000)
chown -R 1000 data
# all access (for creating json database file data/updates.json)
chmod 700 data
# read access only
chmod 400 data/config.json

You will probably need a shell to do that on Unraid as far as I know.
Alternatively you can set the json on a single line in the env variable CONFIG (also see the readme).
