   Create an Nginx Deployment from the Template

   We can create the deployment using the file ~/nginx-deploy-template.yaml. Use the Nginx pv-deployment.yaml file as a reference if needed.

   Our deployment should look similar to this:

   kind: Service
   apiVersion: v1
   metadata:
       name: nginx-service
       labels:
         app: nginx-volume
   spec:
       type: NodePort
       selector:
         app: nginx-volume
       ports:
           - nodePort: 30002
             port: 8080
             targetPort: 80
   ---
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: PersistentVolume
   metadata:
     name: nginx-stor
     labels:
       app: nginx-deploy
       type: local
   spec:
     storageClassName: manual
     capacity:
       storage: 10Gi
     accessModes:
       - ReadWriteOnce
     hostPath:
       path: "/home/cloud_user/indexdoc"
   ---
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
   metadata:
     name: nginx-pvc
     labels:
       app: nginx-deploy
   spec:
    storageClassName: manual
    accessModes:
      - ReadWriteOnce
    resources:
      requests:
        storage: 3Gi
   ---
   apiVersion: apps/v1 # for versions before 1.9.0 use apps/v1beta2
   kind: Deployment
   metadata:
     name: nginx-deployment
     labels:
       app: nginx-deploy
   spec:
     selector:
       matchLabels:
         app: nginx-deploy
     strategy:
       type: Recreate
     template:
       metadata:
         labels:
           app: nginx-deploy
       spec:
         containers:
             - name: nginx-cont
               image: nginx
               ports:
               - containerPort: 80
               volumeMounts:
               - name: nginx-vol
                 mountPath: "/usr/share/nginx/html"
         volumes:
         - name: nginx-vol
           persistentVolumeClaim:
             claimName: nginx-pvc

   Create the Index File and Create the Nginx Deployment

   Run the following to create the index:

   mkdir ~/indexdoc
   echo 'this is the local index file' > ./indexdoc/index.html
   

   Now let's create the Nginx deployment using kubectl:

   sudo kubectl create -f ~/nginx-deployment-template.yaml
   

   We need make sure the Nginx pod is up and running, and get its IP:

   sudo kubectl get po -o wide
   

   And now we can run curl on that IP, to see if the index loads:

   curl <POD_IP>
   

   The output of that should be the this is the local index file that we put in ./indexdoc/index.html a couple minutes ago.
