Are you using any custom parameters or values?

I'm using MongoDB as a dependency chart with StackStorm HA helm installation Kubernetes. https://github.com/StackStorm/stackstorm-k8s

What is the expected behavior?

The container within the POD is supposed to be starting without issues. However, failing with the below error:

Advertised Hostname: stackstorm-k8s-ha-mongodb-0.stackstorm-k8s-ha-mongodb-headless.dbaas-gar.svc.cluster.local
Pod name matches initial primary pod name, configuring node as a primary

What do you see instead?

How to fix this issue?

Bitnami containers are non-root by default, which means any file/dir used by the application should belong to the root group since the random user (1001 by default) is part of this root group. You should adapt the permission of your local directory so the root group is the owner.

You can find more info about non-root containers at
