Hey Ashish, I think Vincent/Thomas can help with the PR on the xwiki-docker project.
Regarding adding docs for High-Availability setup using shared data volumes, I think you can use could create a docs folder in the GitHub repo, and add the docs in Markdown format. I think you can also document it in XWiki blog <https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/>. The chart should support enabling HA, and then passing a storage class which supports shareable volumes to Pods, and then you can document examples for using this with something like Rook+GKE setup.
