Redis fails to run on minikube with error on access permission to a PVC

[leopoldodonnell]

minikube is an important tool. Stable charts should work 'out of the box' or provide documentation on how to run on this platform.

Steps to reproduce:

Using chart stable/redis version 1.1.9

$ helm install stable/redis --name my-redis
NAME:   redis
LAST DEPLOYED: Thu Jan 25 09:37:31 2018
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: DEPLOYED
...
$ 

A quick look via the dashboard or from kubectl will reveal that the redis pod is stuck in crashLoopBackOff.

Taking a closer look at the logs we see:

$ kubectl logs redis-redis-74cb746d9f-gc27v

@sameersbn Is this related to the same issue https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-redis/issues/87

which you had provided a fix

+      initContainers:
+      - name: "fix-permissions"
+        image: "busybox"
+        imagePullPolicy: "{{ .Values.imagePullPolicy }}"
+        command: ["sh", "-c", "chown -R 1001:1001 /bitnami"]
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: redis-data
+          mountPath: /bitnami

and we have to wait for the upstream - fix
kubernetes/minikube#1990

@leopoldodonnell, this appears to be a know issue with minikube itself: kubernetes/minikube#1990

[leopoldodonnell]

I’ll check this out ASAP - would there be any objection to adding a note to the chart’s Readme in a PR if this proves to be the case?

Submitted a PR that provides a Note to minikube users. For the time being, avoid pvc's or engineer redis to run as root.
