HI all,
I am trying to create azure container group for deploying zabbix , group contains four container which are of Mysql server container, java gateway containers, apache webserver container and zabbix server container.
Now the issue is with environment variables. I have created a YAML file and deployed all four container in group, containers are up and running, environment variables are also showing in properties of container from UI. but it's not coming to config file inside the containers.
I also tried to manually add those values in config file but it's getting removed after restarting the container.
I had used the docker compose to create a container in linux VM directly there it was running fine and all the passed environment variables were invoked into config file as well. but not sure why it's not getting into azure container instances.
Please help me, if I need to follow some other way to do it.
Other details:
used OS : Linux
Thank you !!

Environment Variables are not pushed to any file by default. If the container is supposed to push the environment variables to a particular configuration file, that is a functionality defined in the base image. So you can check the base image(s) to understand more on this issue.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for the response, I will check the base image and update you.
But I would like to highlight one thing..I have used same image in linux VM with same environment variables . It got pushed into the config file as well and up and running fine.
So not sure why the issue is happening with ACI. Thank you
Regards,

2021-06-11T04:29:48.673+00:00 Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
Are you still facing the issue?One quick thing, I would recommend is to check that the image that the container is using is configured to use the exact environment variables you are mentioning and the corresponding values.
Also, one more thing is that if you are using an external registry for the image, check if you are selecting the correct OS type for the container.If both of the recommended check are correct, then this issue needs deeper investigation. Support team will be able to check and help on this. I would recommend you to open a azure support case.
If you don't have the ability to open a technical support ticket please let me know I will help with that.
