to complicated? use a nfs share as volume in k3s

Probably you are looking for dynamic volume provisioning. Using this option you only need to create a persistent volume claim. The storage designed to your container. Instead of first creating a persistent volume and binding it to a pvc. Nowadays is common to use plugins CSI plugins for different storages backends. This repository contains some examples on how to mounts the NFS server on kubernetes and also create storage classes, and the CSI installation. It is worth to read the documentation due to the many concepts involved and details of importance like reclamation polices.

Depending on the use case, nfs could be a solution also. I have a k3s cluster on a nuc, and it works correctly https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-nfs

For nfs with k8s, you could use this https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-nfs

Why OpenEBS 3.0 for Kubernetes and Storage?
12 projects | dev.to | 2 Oct 2021

Dynamic NFS Provisioner that allows users to launch a new NFS server on any RWO volume (called backend volume) and expose an RWX volume that saves the data to the backend volume.
