Connect to mongodb with mongoose both in kubernetes – Nginx

I have a microservice which I developed and tested using docker-compose. Now I would like to deploy it to kubernetes.

Part of my docker-compose file looks like this:

  tasksdb:
    container_name: tasks-db
    image: mongo:4.4.1
    restart: always
    ports:
      - '6004:27017'
    volumes:
      - ./tasks_service/tasks_db:/data/db
    networks:
      - backend

  tasks-service:
    container_name: tasks-service
    build: ./tasks_service
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "5004:3000"
    volumes:
      - ./tasks_service/logs:/usr/src/app/logs
      - ./tasks_service/tasks_attachments/:/usr/src/app/tasks_attachments
    depends_on:
      - tasksdb
    networks:
      - backend

I used mongoose to connect to the database and it worked fine:

const connection = "mongodb://tasks-db:27017/tasks"; 

const connectDb = () => {
   mongoose.connect(connection, {useNewUrlParser:true, useCreateIndex:true, useFindAndModify: false});
   return mongoose.connect(connection);
  
 };

Utilizing Kompose, I created a deployment file however I had to modify the persistent volume and persistent volume claim accordingly.

I have something like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: tasks-volume
  labels:
    type: local
spec:
  storageClassName: manual
  volumeMode: Filesystem
  capacity:
    storage: 10Gi 
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  nfs:
    server: 192.168.60.50
    path: /tasks_db

---

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: tasksdb-claim0
spec:
  storageClassName: manual
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi

I changed the mongourl as shown here like this:

const connection = "mongodb://tasksdb.default.svc.cluster.local:27017/tasks";

My deployment looks like this:

apiVersion: v1

Having several services I added an ingress resource for my routing:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: test-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          serviceName: tasks-service
          servicePort: 5004

The deployment seems to run fine as you can see .

However, I have three issues:

1. Despite the fact that I can hit my default path which just reads "tasks service is up" I cannot access my mongoose routes like /api/task/raise which connects to the db, it says "..buffering timed out" like . I guess, the path does not link up to the database service?
   the tasks service pod gives this

2. Whenever there is a power surge and my machine goes off, bringing up the db deployment fails until I delete the config files from the persistent volume, how do I prevent this corruption of files?

3. I have been researching in an elaborate way of changing the master ip of my cluster as I intend to transfer my cluster to a different network. Any guidance please?

   kubectl logs –namespace=kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-dns

the above gives this :
