I am trying to use Kubernetes volumes for Nginx, but am facing an issue with it. After volumes are set Nginx is unable to serve the HTML page. Also am tried with PV and PVS this time also got the same error.

nginx.yml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
  labels: 
    app: nginx 

spec: 
  replicas: 2
  selector: 
    matchLabels: 
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata: 
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec: 
      volumes:
        - name: nginxhtml
          # persistentVolumeClaim: 
          #   claimName: pvc
          hostPath:
            path: /home/amjed/Documents/SPS/k8s/mongo/mnt
      containers:
        - name: nginx
          image: nginx
          volumeMounts:
            - name: nginxhtml 
              mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
              
          ports: 
            - containerPort: 80

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: nginx-service
spec:
  selector: 
    app: nginx
  type: LoadBalancer
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 80
      targetPort: 80

    1. reduce the replica count to 1
    2. verify that /home/amjed/Documents/SPS/k8s/mongo/mnt location is valid and is accessible from the pod

  1. First, create folder that you want to mount inside minikube:

    dobrucki@minikube:~$ minikube ssh
    Last login: Tue Jan 11 13:54:50 2022 from 192.168.49.1
    docker@minikube:~$ ls -l 
    total 4
    drwxr-xr-x 2 docker docker 4096 Jan 11 13:56 nginx-mount
    

    This folder is what is mapped to /usr/share/nginx/html inside Pods, so files you paste here will be displayed when you connect to your service.
    Make sure that you have some .html file inside that folder, otherwise you will get 403 error. For me, example index.html is this:

    <html>
     <head>
     </head>
     <body>
       <h1>Hello World<h1>
     </body>
    </html>
    

    You also need to add securityContext fsGroup inside your Deployment manifest, so that /usr/share/nginx/html is owned by nginx user (101 uid).

    Then, apply Deployment and LoadBalancer resources using this:

    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: nginx-deployment
      labels: 
        app: nginx 
    spec:
      replicas: 2
      selector: 
        matchLabels: 
          app: nginx
      template:
        metadata: 
          labels:
            app: nginx
        spec:
          securityContext:
            fsGroup: 101
          volumes:
            - name: nginxhtml
              hostPath:
                path: /home/docker/nginx-mount
          containers:
            - name: nginx
              image: nginx
              volumeMounts:
                - name: nginxhtml 
                  mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html       
              ports: 
                - containerPort: 80
    ---
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Service
    metadata:
      name: nginx-service
    spec:
      selector: 
        app: nginx
      type: LoadBalancer
      ports:
        - protocol: TCP
          port: 80
          targetPort: 80
    

    After that you can check if the content is served correctly

    dobrucki@minikube:~$ curl $(minikube service nginx-service --url)
    <html>
     <head>
     </head>
     <body>
       <h1>Hello World<h1>
     </body>
    </html>
