SonarQube already scanned projects disappearing after Azure container instance or Azure docker based app service restarts - azure

Question

I have created/utilized a docker file for sonarqube community edition provided by the docker hub. I have also added volumes accordingly in the docker file and set the ACI/App service restart policy as "NEVER", but still whenever ACI/App service restarts, there is no history for the already scanned projects (and signing in sonarqube azure container-based serverless instance always asks for the creation of new project -> creation of token all over again).
Could anyone help me troubleshoot this issue, Below is the docker file and sonar screenshot for reference

According to the documentation: "By default, Azure Container Instances are stateless. If the container crashes or stops, all of its state is lost. To persist state beyond the lifetime of the container, you must mount a volume from an external store."
The documentation explains how to mount an Azure file share in Azure Container Instances.
