PersistentVolumeClaim unknown in kubernetes

6/27/2018

i try to deploy a container but unfortunately i have an error when i try to execute kubectl apply -f *.yaml

the error is :

error validating data: ValidationError(Pod.spec.containers[1]): unknown field "persistentVolumeClaim" in io.k8s.api.core.v1.Container;

i dont understand why i get the error because i wrote claimName: under persistentVolumeClaim: in my pd.yaml config :(

Pod.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: karafpod
spec:
  containers:
  - name: karaf
    image: xxx/karaf:ids-1.1.0
    volumeMounts:
    - name: karaf-conf-storage
      mountPath: /apps/karaf/etc
  - name: karaf-conf-storage
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: karaf-conf-claim

PersistentVolumeClaimKaraf.yml

  name: karaf-conf-claim
spec:

The reason you're seeing that error is due to you specifying a persistentVolumeClaim under your pod spec's container specifications. As you can see from the auto generated docs here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.10/#container-v1-core

persistentVolumeClaims aren't supported at this level/API object, which is what's giving the error you're seeing.

You should modify the pod.yml to specify this as a volume instead.

e.g.:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: karafpod
spec:
  containers:
    - name: karaf
      image: xxx/karaf:ids-1.1.0
      volumeMounts:
      - name: karaf-conf-storage
        mountPath: /apps/karaf/etc
  volumes:
    - name: karaf-conf-storage
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: karaf-conf-claim

According to kubernetes documentation, persistentVolumeClaim is a part of .spec.volume level, not .spec.container level of a pod object.

The correct pod.yaml is:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: karafpod
spec:
  volumes:
    - name: efgkaraf-conf-storage
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: efgkaraf-conf-claim
  containers:
    - name: karaf
      image: docker-all.attanea.net/library/efgkaraf:ids-1.1.0
      volumeMounts:
      - name: efgkaraf-conf-storage
        mountPath: /apps/karaf/etc
