I try to start RStudio in docker container via kubernetes. All objects are created, but when I try to open rstudio using such commands in Ubuntu 18:

kubectl create -f rstudio-ing.yml    
IP=$(minikube ip)
xdg-open http://$IP/rstudio/

there is error: #RStudio initialization error: unable connect to service.

Usual docker command works fine:

docker run -d -p 8787:8787 -e PASSWORD=123 -v /home/aabor/r-projects:/home/rstudio aabor/rstudio

The same intended operation in kubernetes fails.

rstudio-ing.yml file creates all objects well. RStudio is accessible if I do not mount any folder. But if I add folder mounts it produces an error. Any suggestions?

The content of the rstudio-ing.yml:
