Hi @remram44. PVC's when enabled can be used for mounting the plugins folder. You have to specify the volume in values.yaml as well for PVC to bound with headlamp deployment.

volumes:
  - name: example-volume
    # Define your volume type and its attributes
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: your-pvc-name  # This should match the name of the PersistentVolumeClaim you created

Does this answer your question?

That is a very unique take on a Helm chart. Why not just have a pluginsPersistentVolumeClaim setting that actually does the work?

The idea behind keeping the volume and volumeMount values user configurable was to provide flexibility in the way the user wants to configure it. There can be cases when the user wants to use an existing pvc or use the same volumeMount in an init container to setup plugins etc.

If you want to use an existing PVC or custom PVCs the you don't need the persistentVolumeClaim section, only the volumes section of the chart.
