Hi Im deploying Grafana in EKS. I used the hostpath as my persistent volume but i receive the error GF_PATHS_DATA=’/var/lib/grafana’ is not writable. I already added security context. How will I resolved the issue?

Hey, add runAsGroup: 472 and it should work for latest image:
…
securityContext:
runAsUser: 472
runAsGroup: 472
fsGroup: 472
…
