   My team is changing to use #k8s for our local developer environment, away from docker-compose.

   Unfortunately, when creating persistentvolume's locally on MacOS, they only seem to work if the file is in a subdirectory /Users/<username>, the home directory.

   The PV and PVC set up correctly, but when we create a Deployment, we get an error.

   Is there a reason this is happening? Why can't we use a common system directory, like "/var/local/<projectname>"?

     @francis that sounds likely! We're using Docker Desktop.

     @evan Could it be because the container environment behind it runs in userspace without sudo rights?

     @lambic no, not for this system.

     @evan curious why you're doing this, isn't k8s overkill for local dev?

     I added a blog post about this so it could get indexed and others could find it.

     Thanks @francis for the hints!
