Describe the bug

spotweb seems to start 2 pods: "spotweb" and "postgresql". The data to persist seems to be the database data of "/bitnami/postgresql". However, if we use TrueNas to add a hostPath mount it is attached to the "spotweb".

Meaning we can only use PVC to persist data.

To Reproduce

1: install "spotweb"
2: make a hostpath mapping /truenas_host/dataset/spotnet -> /bitnami/postgresql
3: start spotweb
4: shell-into the "spotweb" pod and notice the (empty) /bitnami/postgresql location
5: shell-into the "postgresql" pod and notice the /bitnami/postgresql location with the database files
6: look at the truenas host /truenas_host/dataset/spotnet and see the folder is still empty

Expected Behavior

Expected to be able to overrule the PVC and use hostPath for /bitnami/postgresql

Additional Context

Created forum post: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/how-to-figuring-out-hostpath-mappings-for-apps.108716/

I know TrueCharts is not that keen about hostPath. At this moment i am also not sure if this is a bug:

• in the Truecharts files? (is the "core app" wrongly specified?)
• Does TrueNAS lack the feature to assign a mapping to a wanted POD?

I've read and agree with the following

• I've checked all open and closed issues and my issue is not there.

HostPath for databases cannot be used.
Database is a statefulset workload, which can only use VolumeClaimTemplates.
Also you can't mount any storage from the GUI to dependencies such as databases.

Also using an unsupported version pf SCALE…
