Microclimate on IBM Cloud Private - Permission to write

Following on from my earlier post: -

 Playing with Microclimate on IBM Cloud Private 

it took me a while, and a lot of PD, but I was able to successfully resolve my issue with this: -

kubectl get pods -n micro-climate

I dug into the Docker logs on one of my ICP worker nodes, using the command: -

which was strange, given that I was using a NFS v4 service ( on the Boot node of my ICP cluster ) to host the required file-systems ( as per the previous post, using Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims ).

Thankfully, a colleague had hit the same problem, albeit NOT using NFS, and the solution was, as one might imagine, permissions :-)

Yes, even though I'm running everything as root (!), and had exported the file-systems via /etc/exports : -

/export/CAM_logs *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export/CAM_db *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export/CAM_terraform *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export/CAM_BPD_appdata *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export/MC_jenkins *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export/MC_microclimate *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)

I needed to ensure that the underlying file-system permissions were also correct.

So this was what I had: -

ls -altrc /export

total 12
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Jan  2 11:34 ..
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root   36 Jan  2 16:48 CAM_terraform
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jan  2 16:48 CAM_logs
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root   56 Jan  2 16:48 CAM_BPD_appdata
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    6 Jan 15 16:19 MC_jenkins
drwxr-xr-x  8 root root  121 Jan 15 16:20 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root   25 Jan 15 16:28 MC_microclimate
drwxr-xr-x  4  999 root 4096 Jan 21 10:30 CAM_db

and this is what I needed to do: -

chmod -R 777 /export/MC_jenkins/

giving me this: -

drwxr-xr-x  3 root root   36 Jan  2 16:48 CAM_terraform
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jan  2 16:48 CAM_logs
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root   56 Jan  2 16:48 CAM_BPD_appdata
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root   25 Jan 15 16:28 MC_microclimate
drwxr-xr-x  4  999 root 4096 Jan 21 10:30 CAM_db
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root    6 Jan 21 15:34 MC_jenkins

In other words, I needed to set the group and world permissions to write as well as the user, thus changing FROM 755 TO 777.

As soon as I did this, the ICP ( Kubernetes ) Replica Set automatically spun up container instances on the Worker nodes which happily grabbed the storage, and I immediately saw stuff being written by Jenkins: -

ls -al /export/MC_jenkins/
