How should I replace this line "provisioner: k8s.io/minikube-hostpath" for a "Kind" statefulset.yaml file?

The following is a StatefulSet.yaml file for deploying Cassandra database on a minikube cluster. I am not sure what lines should be replaced if I want to use a Kind cluster instead of a minikube one, but I think one obvious option would be provisioner: k8s.io/minikube-hostpath.

You can use the default storage class provided by Kind i.e, standard storageclass. To use a default storage class either you can specify the storageClassName: standard or remove the storageClassName line in PVC.

In your case remove the storage class name from PVC template and remove the storage class creation part.

 volumeClaimTemplates:
  - metadata:
      name: cassandra-data
    spec:
      accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 1Gi

This should be enough to create a PVC with the default storage class.

To know more about default storage class refer the default storage class section in this official k8 document

Before you answer my question, I replaced that line with `provisioner: kubernetes.io/host-path` and it seems it worked! Did I do a wrong thing?

Hi @best_of_man if you are creating a manual storageclass that is absolutely fine.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
