Can't use "volume.shared" in Compontent Chart

[johnnypea]

error deploying: error deploying php: deployments[php].helm.componentChart: component values are incorrect: yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 18: field shared not found in type latest.VolumeMountVolumeConfig

https://devspace.sh/component-chart/docs/configuration/containers#volumeshared

volumeMounts:
- containerPath: /var/run/php
  volume:
    name: php-socket
    readOnly: false
    shared: true

[FabianKramm]

@johnnypea thanks for creating this issue! Yes seems like this is not part of the latest spec in devspace, we'll fix that for the next release!

[johnnypea]

@FabianKramm thanks!

Please, could you give me working example how can I use this sharing a volume between the pods. It is not very clear from the docs. Should "shared" be set for every pod which is using that shared volume?

[LukasGentele]

@johnnypea As far as I see it in the chart's templates, the shared: true option creates a PersistentVolumeClaim separately with name php-stocket as in your example. That means multiple deployments can mount this PVC. If you have shared: false, instead of creating a PVC directly, the chart will create a PVC Template as part of the StatefulSet which makes it very hard to mount it from 2 different deployments. Details in this commit: https://github.com/loft-sh/component-chart/commit/d8c5e1a422c35bde54e1ba09bf2852115b88ffc4#

EDIT: Yes, shared: true should be set for every deployment.

@LukasGentele @FabianKramm I finally got to test it on 5.18.3 but still no luck getting it work...

[FabianKramm]

@johnnypea when you get the resource already exist error, can you do a devspace purge and then devspace dev again?

[johnnypea]

@FabianKramm I did devspace purge --all and kubectl delete persistentvolumeclaims --all but still the same result. I tried deploying in new namespace but it didn't help.

This pod yaml if it would be any help. I can't see "shared" definition there, is that correct?

[FabianKramm]

@johnnypea thanks for the info, can you share your devspace.yaml that fails during devspace dev? Do you have multiple deployments that somehow reference the same pvc?

[johnnypea]

@LukasGentele Yes, I do. I sent it in my previous comment. Do you need any more details?

[FabianKramm]

@johnnypea thanks for the info, I guess thats currently a limitation of the component chart as it tries to create 2 PVC's here. You are probably better off to create your own custom helm chart that does this the way you want with a single PVC and multiple deployments

[johnnypea]

@FabianKramm would it be possible to use it like this?

deployments:
- name: pwa-dist-pvc
  kubectl:
    manifests:
      - pwa/deploy/pwa-dist-pvc.yaml
- name: pwa
  helm:
    componentChart: true
    values:
      containers:
      - image: pwa-prod
        volumeMounts:
        - containerPath: /usr/src/pwa/dist
          volume:
            name: pwa-dist

pwa/deploy/pwa-dist-pvc.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: pwa-dist
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 5Gi

Getting this error:

Error: Deployment.apps "pwa" is invalid: spec.template.spec.containers[0].volumeMounts[0].name: Not found: "pwa-dist"

[FabianKramm]

@johnnypea no, the problem is that the pvc already exists and you need to separate the deployments, where 1 deployment wouldn't create the persistent volume claim
