title: 1 pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims on Minikube
body: <p>I'm trying to use kubernetes with a spring boot application and use mysql. But i found this error on minikube dashboard:</p>
  <pre><code>0/1 nodes are available: 1 pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims.Back-off restarting failed container    
  </code></pre>
  <p>A secret file is created for boath user and admin and a configMap file also to map the spring boot image to the service of mysql.
