Init container creation but it is failing soehow i am not sure why on if command

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: init-container-test
spec:
containers:

  • name: application-container
    image: alpine
    command: [‘sh’, ‘-c’, ‘if [ -f /work/sharedfile.txt ]; then sleep 99999; else exit; fi’]
    volumeMounts:
    • name: workdir-volume
      mountPath: /work
      initContainers:
  • name: init-container
    image: busybox:1.28
    command: [‘sh’, ‘-c’, ‘mkdir /work; echo>/work/sharedfile.txt’]
    volumeMounts:
    • name: workdir-volume
      mountPath: / work
      volumes:
  • name: workdir-volume
    emptyDir: {}

Try this out

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: init-container-test
spec:
containers:

  • name: application-container
    image: alpine
    command: [“/bin/sh”, “-c”, “if [ -f /work/sharedfile.txt ];then sleep 9999;else exit 1;fi”]
    volumeMounts:
    • name: workdir-volume
      mountPath: /work
      initContainers:
  • name: busybox
    image: busybox
    command: [“/bin/sh”, “-c”, “touch /work/sharedfile.txt”]
    volumeMounts:
    • name: workdir-volume
      mountPath: /work
      volumes:
  • name: workdir-volume
    emptyDir: {}

Try this, it works
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: init-demo
spec:
initContainers:

  • name: init-container
    image: nginx
    volumeMounts:
    • name: init-vol
      mountPath: /workdir
      command: [‘/bin/sh’, ‘-c’, ‘mkdir workdir; touch /workdir/test.txt’]
      containers:
  • name: main-container
    image: httpd
    volumeMounts:
    • name: init-vol
      mountPath: /workdir
      command: [‘/bin/sh’, ‘-c’, ‘if [ -f /workdir/test.txt ]; then sleep 9999; fi’]
      volumes:
  • name: init-vol
    emptyDir: {}
