Setting up MongoDB with Kubernetes on Google Cloud - mongodb

Question

I'm trying to deploy MongoDB on Google Cloud using Kubernetes. However, I'm having some difficulties. It says:
error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 29: found character that cannot start any token
However, on line 29 there's only a space indenting the line, as shown below.
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: mongo-pv-claim
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 20Gi
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: mongo
labels:
name: mongo
spec:
ports:
- port: 27017
targetPort: 27017
clusterIP: None
selector:
role: mongo
---
apiVersion: apps/v1beta1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
name: mongo
spec:
serviceName: "mongo"
replicas: 1
template:
metadata:
labels:
role: mongo
environment: test
spec:
terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 10
containers:
- name: mongo
image: mongo
command:
- mongod
- "--replSet"
- rs0
- "--smallfiles"
- "--noprealloc"
ports:
- containerPort: 27017
volumeMounts:
- name: mongo-persistent-storage
mountPath: /data/db
volumes:
- name: mongo-persistent-storage
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: mongo-pv-claim
Could somebody point me to where I'm doing something wrong, or more resources on the matter? I've only recently started using Kubernetes, so would appreciate any information.

Answer 1

You had two issues with formatting your yaml file:
volumes should be on the same level as containers.
persistentVolumeClaim should be under - name: mongo-persistent-storage in volumes statement.
Correct yaml file is:
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: mongo-pv-claim
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 20Gi

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: mongo
labels:

spec:
