Why podman generate kube does not create persistent volume claims for volumes?

117 views Asked by At

I have a simple docker-compose file:

version: '3'

services:
  auth-service:
    image: <username>/auth-service:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      RUST_LOG: info
      REDIS_HOST: redis-service
      REDIS_PORT: 6379
      RABBITMQ_HOST: rabbitmq-service
      RABBITMQ_PORT: 5672

  redis-service:
    image: redis:latest
    volumes:
      - redis:/data

  rabbitmq-service:
    image: rabbitmq:latest
    environment:
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: guest
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: guest

When I do podman generate kube command, I get the following YAML for Redis:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2023-11-26T12:58:11Z"
  labels:
    app: auth-app-redis-service-1-pod
  name: auth-app-redis-service-1-pod
spec:
  containers:
  - args:
    - redis-server
    image: docker.io/library/redis:latest
    name: auth-app-redis-service-1
    volumeMounts:
    - mountPath: /data
      name: 1005b2fef1c47d55188a90e533bd0f4dca7a201e002db309fffd8367fd356dd5-pvc
  volumes:
  - name: 1005b2fef1c47d55188a90e533bd0f4dca7a201e002db309fffd8367fd356dd5-pvc
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: 1005b2fef1c47d55188a90e533bd0f4dca7a201e002db309fffd8367fd356dd5

And it's fine, except volumes. I want to apply it to Minikube, but I can't cause my claim doesn't exist. So why are they generated, and when and how should I apply them? Is it working only for Podman's Kubernetes backend? So, should I remove volumes for the Minikube setup? Appreciate.

UPD_1:

I changed compose to:

  redis-service:
    image: redis:latest
    volumes: []

  rabbitmq-service:
    image: rabbitmq:latest
    volumes: []
    environment:
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: guest
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: guest

And restart it, and podman still generates volumes in YAML. That's strange, but it's another topic.

UPD_2:

I get PVC manifests with the following script and am frustrated if this is the only way to achieve this (meaning manual generation). That's strange that podman itself knows that the container has a volume, but doesn't create PVC for it.

#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p k8s

for service in $(podman compose ps -q); do
    service_name=$(podman inspect --format '{{ index .Config.Labels "com.docker.compose.service" }}' $service)
    
    # Generate Kubernetes YAML for the container
    podman generate kube $service > "k8s/$service_name.yaml"

    # Check if the container has volumes
    volumes=$(podman inspect --format '{{ range .Mounts }}{{ .Source }}{{ end }}' $service)

    if [ -n "$volumes" ]; then
        # Extract the volume name from the path
        volume_name=$(echo "$volumes" | awk -F'/' '{print $(NF-1)}')

        # Generate PVC YAML using 'podman kube' with the extracted volume name
        podman kube generate $volume_name > "k8s/${service_name}_${volume_name}_pvc.yaml"
    fi
done

UPD_3 (fantasy): I expected something like podman kube generate my-container or even podman kube generate my-compose-project to get all the needed k8s kinds.
