How do I define a persistent storage claim for my deployment? - kubernetes

Question

I get this error message:
Deployment.apps "nginxapp" is invalid: spec.template.spec.containers[0].volumeMounts[0].name: Not found: "nginx-claim"
Now, I thought deployment made a claim to a persistant storage, so these are det files I've run in order:
First, persistant volume to /data as that is persistent on minikube (https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/persistent_volumes/):
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: small-pv
spec:
capacity:
storage: 1Gi
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
storageClassName: local-storage
local:
path: /data
nodeAffinity:
required:
nodeSelectorTerms:
- matchExpressions:
- key: kubernetes.io/hostname
operator: In
values:
- my-node
Then, for my nginx deployment I made a claim:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: nginx-claim
spec:
storageClassName: manual
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
Before service I run the deployment, which is the one giving me the error above, looks like this:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app: nginxapp
name: nginxapp
spec:
replicas: 1
volumes:
- persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: nginx-claim
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginxapp
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginxapp
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 80
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: "/data/www"
name: nginx-claim
Where did I go wrong? Isnt it deployment -> volume claim -> volume?
Am I doing it right? The persistent volume is pod-wide (?) and therefore generally named. But the claim is per deployment? So thats why I named it nginx-claim. I might be mistaken here, but should not bug up this simple run doh.
In my deployment i set mountPath: "/data/www", this should follow the directory already set in persistent volume definition, or is building on that? So in my case I get /data/data/www?

Try change to:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: nginx-claim
spec:
storageClassName: local-storage # <-- changed
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
At your deployment spec add:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app: nginxapp
name: nginxapp
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginxapp
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginxapp
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 80
volumeMounts:
- name: nginx-claim
mountPath: "/data/www"
volumes:
- name: nginx-claim # <-- added
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: nginx-claim

Looks like name: is missing under volumes: in the deployment manifest. Can you try the following in the deployment manifest:
volumes:
- name: nginx-claim
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: nginx-claim
Here is the documentation.
