After running Kompose I get: pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims - kubernetes

Question

Whats the Problem?
I can't get my pods running which are using a volume. In the Kubernetes Dashboard I got the following error:
running "VolumeBinding" filter plugin for pod "influxdb-6979bff6f9-hpf89": pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims
What did I do?
After running Kompose convert to my docker-compose.yml file I tried to start the pods with micro8ks kubectl apply -f . (I am using micro8ks) I had to replace the version of the networkpolicy yaml files with networking.k8s.io/v1 (see here) but except of this change, I didn't change anything.

Answer 1

The PersistentVolumeClaim will be unbound if either the cluster does not have a StorageClass which can dynamically provision a PersistentVolume or it does not have a manually created PersistentVolume to satisfy the PersistentVolumeClaim
Here is a guide on how to configure a pod to use PersistentVolume
To solve the current scenario you can manually create a PV
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: task-pv-volume
labels:
type: local
spec:
storageClassName: manual
capacity:
storage: 100Mi
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
hostPath:
path: "/mnt/data"
Please note usage of hostPath is only as an example. It's not recommended for production usage. Consider using external block or file storage from the supported types here
