Seed MongoDB in local minikube cluster using skaffold

Question

I am using a skaffold to deploy mongodb to my local minikube cluster.

sample files below:

skaffold.yaml

apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta26
kind: Config

metadata:
  name: mongodb

deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
    - "config/namespace.yaml"
    - "config/mongodb.yaml"
    defaultNamespace: "mongodb"

config/namespace.yaml

kind: Namespace
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: mongodb
  labels:
    name: mongodb

config/mongodb.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: mongodb-mongo-depl
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: mongodb-mongo
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: mongodb-mongo
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: mongodb-mongo
          image: mongo
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: mongodb-mongo-srv
spec:
  selector:
    app: mongodb-mongo
  ports:
    - name: db
      protocol: TCP
      port: 27017
      targetPort: 27017

It successfully creates a mongodb instance in my minikube cluster.

I would also like to seed the db with some json data.

Is there are way to do this using skaffold ?

Update:

I have also created a configmap and a job to seed the database so my config is as follows:

skaffold.yaml

apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta26
kind: Config

metadata:
  name: mongodb

deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
    - "config/namespace.yaml"
    - "config/configmap.yaml"
    - "config/mongodb.yaml"
    - "config/mongo-seed-job.yaml"
    defaultNamespace: "mongodb"

congigmap.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: seed-data
  namespace: mongodb
data:
  init.json: |
    [{"name":"Joe Smith","email":"jsmith@gmail.com","age":40,"admin":false},{"name":"Jen Ford","email":"jford@gmail.com","age":45,"admin":true}]

mongo-seed-job.yaml

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: mongo-seed
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: seed
        image: mongo:latest
        command: ["sh", "-c", "mongoimport --uri mongodb://mongodb:27017/mydb --collection accounts --type json --file '/init.json' --jsonArray"]
        volumeMounts: 
        - name: seed-data
          mountPath: /data
      volumes:
      - name: seed-data
        configMap:
          name: seed-data
          items:
          - key: init.json
            path: init.json
      restartPolicy: Never

now the mongo-seed pod wont start. I am getting ContainerCannotRun

I managed to get it working. Here is the working code if anyone else needs it:

skaffold.yaml

apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta26
kind: Config

metadata:
  name: mongodb

deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
    - "config/namespace.yaml"
    - "config/mongodb-credentials.yaml"
    - "config/configmap.yaml"
    - "config/mongodb.yaml"
    - "config/mongo-seed-job.yaml"
    defaultNamespace: "mongodb"

config/namespace.yaml

kind: Namespace
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: mongodb
  labels:
    name: mongodb

config/mongodb-credentials.yaml

Note: username: admin password: password

Please change this to whatever you want

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mongodb-credentials
type: Opaque
data:
  username: YWRtaW4=
  password: cGFzc3dvcmQ=

config/configmap.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: seed-data
data:
  init.json: |
    [{"name":"Joe Smith","email":"jsmith@gmail.com","age":40,"admin":false},{"name":"Jen Ford","email":"jford@gmail.com","age":45,"admin":true}]

            mountPath: /data/db
          env:

If anyone has any alternate solutions it would be good to know.
