  • Furthermore, if a make changes in the container, when restarting container all settings are overwritten (flows / settings.js)? Is there a way to persist app on restart without fileshares?

    Answer to 2nd question-->

    Using Environment Variables: One common approach is to configure your application to read settings from environment variables. This way, you can inject configuration values into your container at runtime, and they persist across container restarts. In Azure Container Apps, you can set environment variables in the container settings through the Azure portal or Azure CLI.
