Problem mounting volume in container app

Question

I have a container app with a docker container loaded. I have created a storage account, and create a file share. I added the share as a volume in the container app configuration. It appears the volume isn't mounting since there is a message: The following volumes have no associated mounts in this revision's containers: [volume name] as shown below. The volume definition shows that there are no associated mounts. Any suggestions on fixing this? Am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks!

Hello David Wipper,

Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

It sounds like the issue might be related to the configuration of the volume mount in your container app.

Ensure that the volume is correctly defined in your container app’s configuration. You should have a volume definition in the volumes section of your YAML file.

Make sure that the volume is associated with the container in the volumeMounts section. This is where you specify which container should mount the volume and the mount path.

Double-check that your storage account and file share are correctly set up and accessible. Ensure that the file share is properly linked to your container app environment.

If you are using the Azure CLI, you can update your container app configuration by exporting it to a YAML file, making the necessary changes, and then applying the updated configuration.
