<p>I have deployed mysql statefulset following the link <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/run-replicated-stateful-application/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/run-replicated-stateful-application/</a> and all the 3 mysql pods are running fine. 
I have written an application in Golang which reads MySQL environmental variable from a config.toml file when connecting to MySQL server on my local machine. The config.toml file contain these variables. These are use when my application is running on my local machine.</p>

<pre><code>MySQLServer = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "3306"
MySQLDatabase = "hss_lte_db"
User = "hss"
Password = "hss" 
</code></pre>

<p>Now I would like to deploy my application in my Kubernetes cluster so that it connects to the MySQL Statefulset service. I created my deployment as shown below but the pod show Error and CrashLoopBackOff. Need help as how to connect my application to the MySQL Statefulset service.
Also am not sure if the MySQLServer connection string is right in the configMap.</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: v1 
data:
  config.toml: |
   MySQLServer = "mysql-0.mysql,mysql-1.mysql,mysql-2.mysql"
   Port = "3306"
   MySQLDatabase = "hss_lte_db"
   User = "root"
   Password = ""

   GMLCAddressPort = ":8000"
   NRFIPAddr = "192.168.31.115"
   NRFPort = "30005"

<p>I have made some variable name changes to deployment, so the updated deployment is as above but still did not connect. The description of the pod is as</p>

<p>Still did not able to connect. </p>

<p>Logs output:
ubuntu@k8s-master:~/gmlc$ kubectl logs gmlc-instance-5898989874-s5s5j -n default
2020/05/10 18:13:21 open config.toml: no such file or directory</p>

<p>It looks like the config.toml file is the problem and my application meed this file to run.</p>

<p>I have 2 files (config.toml and profile.json) that have to be in the /gmlcapp/ directory for the application to run. Because the profile.json is huge to add to the deployment as in the above, i have created the its configmap seperately. This it configmap output</p>

<pre><code>ubuntu@k8s-master:~/gmlc$ kubectl get configmaps

<p>Also this is the logs when i comment the  vol-config-profile in the deployment.</p>

<p>I have got it running by changing the volumeMount in the deployment.</p>
