Description

I use helm chart to deploy gitea. Using external pvc(I have created pv/pvc) and setting the ReadWriteMany. But the gitea pod can't be created. Then i find init-container logs and get the following error msg:

(base) ➜  ~ k -n gitea logs  gitea-66fb985648-khrzk  -c init-directories
+ mkdir -p /data/git/.ssh
mkdir: can't create directory '/data/git/': Permission denied

The pod volumes as follows:

Volumes:
  init:
    Type:        Secret (a volume populated by a Secret)
    SecretName:  gitea-init
    Optional:    false

    Type:        Secret (a volume populated by a Secret)
    SecretName:  gitea
    Optional:    false
  inline-config-sources:
    Type:        Secret (a volume populated by a Secret)
    SecretName:  gitea-inline-config
    Optional:    false
  temp:
    Type:       EmptyDir (a temporary directory that shares a pod's lifetime)
    Medium:
