Hi Natalia, We use the nifi inside a docker container, and some guidelines from it would help you -
(1) We have a role account user 'nifi' on the host and the exact same user is created inside the 'docker image', you need to use the same uuid/group id as it exists on the host. Also, please make sure that this 'nifi' user owns the directories on the external volumes. (2) We mount the following directories from outside to persist the state. - conf - content_repository - flowfile_repository - provenance_repository From: [email protected] At: 02/13/20 04:50:19To: [email protected], [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: Running Nifi on OpenShift Public Hi Shawn, We have internal Jenkins deployment process, which eventually comes down to running yml configs on OpenShift. I attached two yml files. One version with storage mounted and one without. The one with storage mounted expects nifi properties file, which I think should come from image. So there is something wrong about this set up. I would expect it to use default properties and don't which ones to give it. See my point 4 in original email below. The one without persistent storage mounted comes up with permission error: /opt/nifi/nifi-current/conf/sedXGg2lo: Permission denied. See original email for full story about this. I had few goes on trying to resolve it as per my original story below. I have read somewhere that the issue could be due to the fact that Nifi image tries to run as root but OpenShift doesn't allow it by default. Not sure if this is still true for the latest 1.11.1 version of docker image. If you can suggest what is wrong with these yml files or may be some settings need to change on OpenShift admin side it hopefully will help to resolve the issue.

More than likely the issue is in your Kubernetes Yaml that you used to deploy NiFi with. This is separate than nifi.properties and would have been the config file you used in the command "kubectl apply -f nifi.yaml" or are you trying to deploy with Helm?

The reason I have a specific request for OpenShift is the requirement to adhere to organisational architectural road map. I cannot agree more that it is not a single person task. I was working on it for few days with OpenShift administrator (on CC list) helping me out. Your links certainly give an impression that this task is not for faint hearted.

This is definitely not a few days task for a single person. Why not run NiFi just in docker (docker-compose)? Or on bare metal?
