Persist (local) dynamoDB data in volumes lack permission - unable to open database file

I am having big troubles solving the following issue: I am trying to persist the data that is stored in my local dynamodb instance. I want to containerize the whole application in separate containers.

This is my docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.8'

services:
  dynamodb:
    image: amazon/dynamodb-local:latest
    command: -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb -dbPath /var/lib/dynamodb/data
    volumes:
        - dynamodb_data:/var/lib/dynamodb/data
    ports:
        - "8000:8000"

"translation-api":
    build: "./application"
    ports:
    - 5000:5000
    volumes:
    - ./application:/app
    depends_on: 
        - dynamodb
    environment:
        AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: 'DUMMYIDEXAMPLE'
        AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: 'DUMMYEXAMPLEKEY'

volumes:
  dynamodb_data:

It works great on one of my machines (windows), but when I git clone my project to two of my other computers (one Ubuntu one Windows) I get the following error code:

I imagine there is a problem with my docker-compose where I try to store the dynamodb volume data in "/var/lib/dynamodb/data" as it might lack the proper permissions to do so. If so, I am asking for assistance in how to solve the permission error. Please help out!

(end goal is to persist data in my local dynamodb instance)
