I have a ACI container instance with a mounted file share according to the standard ACI instructions. I must edit the ownership of files mounted in the directory where the file share is mounted. Right now only root owns the files.
Very similar issue to this but i am looking for a workable solution.

EDIT: Here are the steps to follow to reproduce

go to shell.azure.com
Instantiate these variables on the command line (bash) shell:

ACI_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP=cartoetestgroup

ACI_PERS_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=cartoteststor$RANDOM

ACI_PERS_LOCATION=yourlocation (e.g. eastus)

ACI_PERS_SHARE_NAME=cartomysharename

Now create the storage account if you haven't already

az storage account create 

    --resource-group $ACI_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP 

    --name $ACI_PERS_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME 

    --location $ACI_PERS_LOCATION 

    --sku Standard_LRS

*I can't remember why I used standard LRS.

Export the connection string as an environment variable

export AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING=`az storage account show-connection-    string --resource-group $ACI_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP --name

$ACI_PERS_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME --output tsv`

Create the file share

az storage share create -n $ACI_PERS_SHARE_NAME

Confirm the name of the storage account

STORAGE_ACCOUNT=$(az storage account list --resource-group

$ACI_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP --query "[?contains(name,'$ACI_PERS_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME')].[name]" --output tsv)

echo $STORAGE_ACCOUNT

Confirm the storage key

STORAGE_KEY=$(az storage account keys list --resource-group

$ACI_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP --account-name $STORAGE_ACCOUNT --query "[0].value" --output tsv)

echo $STORAGE_KEY

I recommend you write down the variables values for next time.

If you are using an existing file share, then create and populate the variables:

STORAGE_ACCOUNT=cartoteststor123345 

STORAGE_KEY=yourstoragekey 

(e.g. 243phasldjgknw083hroawuiefh09u3urf0when or something like that)

Finally, create the container...

az container create 

    --resource-group $ACI_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP 

    --name tharbemycartodb 

    --image sverhoeven/cartodb 

    --dns-name-label giveme_a_name_cartodemo 

    --ports 80 

    --azure-file-volume-account-name $ACI_PERS_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME 

    --azure-file-volume-account-key $STORAGE_KEY 

    --azure-file-volume-share-name $ACI_PERS_SHARE_NAME 

    --azure-file-volume-mount-path /var/lib/tmpstor 

--cpu 2 --memory 2 

--dns-name-label whateverIwantToBeAccessedBy 

--ip-address public 

    --environment-variables CARTO_HOSTNAME=whateverIwantToBeAccessedBy.mylocation

(e.g. eastus).azurecontainer.io

After the whole thing boots and populates (so the site is up and accessible), login to the container from the shell

az container exec --resource-group cartoetestgroup --name tharbemycartodb --exec-command "/bin/bash" 

Once inside the container, copy the contents to the file share

cp -a /var/lib/postgresql/. /var/lib/tmpstor/

(Maybe try to own the folder before populating it??)

Then you can kill the container when the copy is complete.

If you follow the above steps but using your existing credentials

ACI_PERS_RESOURCE_GROUP

ACI_PERS_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME

ACI_PERS_LOCATION

ACI_PERS_SHARE_NAME

STORAGE_ACCOUNT

STORAGE_KEY

then you can essentially duplicate the above except for the mount location. It should work, except it doesn't because user 103 doesn't own the folder containing the database

az container create





--azure-file-volume-mount-path /var/lib/postgresql
