Hi, i am trying to mount a volume in a kubernetes deployment, but i am unable to get the deployment to start in the following configuration. i have tried removing the volume mounts, and the container starts without any issue. can someone advise on where i am going wrong?

const name = `${defaultName}-nextcloud`;

    // Create a nextcloud Deployment
    const appLabels = { appClass: name };

    const volume = new aws.ebs.Volume(name, {
        availabilityZone: "us-west-2a",
        size: 3,
        encrypted: true,
        tags: {
            name: name,
        }
    });

    const deployment = new k8s.apps.v1.Deployment(name,
        {
            metadata: {
                namespace: namespaceName,
                labels: appLabels,
            },
            spec: {
                replicas: 1,
                selector: { matchLabels: appLabels },
                template: {
                    metadata: {
                        labels: appLabels,
                    },
                    spec: {
                        containers: [
                            {
                                name: name,
                                image: "nextcloud:latest",
                                ports: [{ name: "http", containerPort: 80 }],
                                volumeMounts: [{
                                    name: "nextcloud-volume",
                                    mountPath: "/var/www/html"
                                }]
                            }
                        ],
                        volumes: [
                            {
                                name: "nextcloud-volume",
                                awsElasticBlockStore: {
                                    volumeID: volume.id
                                }
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            },
        },
        {
            provider: cluster.provider,
        }
    );

what’s the error?

i get:

Diagnostics:
  kubernetes:apps:Deployment (architecture-nextcloud):
    error: Plan apply failed: 2 errors occurred:
    
    * Timeout occurred for 'architecture-nextcloud-v6c0og91'
    * Minimum number of Pods to consider the application live was not attained

what do the events say?

i thought that is why it doesnt start. i will setup

kubectl

now

I don’t understand.

oh ok. i will see what

kubectl get event

returns.

If there are no events related to these pods, you probably configured the volume wrong somehow.

the volume is configured exactly as in the code above. (that code is copy-pasted)

Sure, but my point is that if it failed to provision for whatever reason, it would not mount, and your pods will fail.

ahh ok. i didnt know that. if that is the case, then how do i mount an EBS volume in kubernetes?

I don’t know, I’ve never done it.

it seems similar to:

<https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#awselasticblockstore>

, except i have not specified

fsType

. i will try that now.

it will probably involve a bit of trial and error, unfortunately.

sure. thanks for your help. if there was a pulumi forum i could post the solution there (if i find it). i think this may be something someone else may struggle with. it would also make for nice search indexing. 🙂

@lemon-greece-30910 feel free to post an issue and then the solution. That’s probably best.
