I deployed a mysql monitor application image in kubernetes cluster which run as non root user. When I tried to mount a path to make the data persistent,its overriding the directory(creates a new directory by deleting everything inside that path) in which my application configuration files has to be present.Even I tried using init container still,i am not able to mount it.

my docker file:
