Error from server BadRequest container mysql-con in pod mysql is waiting to start CreateContainerConfigError

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create one pod on minikube cluster. But it is showing me below error.

$ kubectl logs mysql
Error from server (BadRequest): container "mysql-con" in pod "mysql" is waiting to start: CreateContainerConfigError

I have used this below yml code to create mysql pod.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: mysql
  labels:
    name: mysql
spec:
  containers:
  - name: mysql-con
    image: mysql:5.7
    env:
    - name: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
      valueFrom:
        secretKeyRef:
          name: secret
          key: rootpass
    - name: MYSQL_USER
      value: nadeem
    - name: MYSQL_PASSWORD
      valueFrom:
        secretKeyRef:
          name: secret
          key: userpass
    - name: MYSQL_DATABASE
      value: database
    volumeMounts:
    - name: pvc-vol
      mountPath: /var/lib/mysql
  volumes:
  - name: pvc-vol
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: pvc-volume

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

In above code, you have used secret for your credentials. But when you build this file, it didn't able to find any secret. Make sure you have created secret resource. You can use the below given code.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: secret
data:
  rootpass: 'name'
  userpass: 'value'
$ kubectl create -f secret
