<p>I have a docker application which uses docker-compose, i want to deploy the project in openshift-3, so i'm using  <a href="https://kompose.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">kompose</a>.
Here is my docker-compose file:-</p>

<p>As per my observation/analysis, the error can be due to following:-</p>

<p>kompose might be wrongly interpreting the shared volumes. If i explain this more clearly, it is like "katana-static" is a shared volume that is used by frontend,backend, and migration containers. kompose does the following steps(here I'm focusing only on shared volume: katana-static)</p>

<ol>
<li>The kompose up will read the docker-compose.yml</li>
<li>Now the first container is backend, so there it finds katana-static under volumes, so it creates the volume.</li>
<li>Next it goes to next container and finds katana-static again, so it tries to create again</li>
<li>Since it tries to create the shared persistent volume katana-static again, which already exists it throws error which we are facing.</li>
</ol>

<p>If this is actually what is happening then what can the fix for this? or else what is causing this error?</p>

<p>If there is any other forum where i can ask this question please share the link in comment section.Thanks in Advance.</p>

<p>The issue could be with local volumes</p>

<pre><code>volumes:
  katana-static:
    driver: local-persist
    driver_opts:
      mountpoint: /data/local-persist/data/warrior/katana-static
  katana-wapps:
    driver: local-persist
    driver_opts:
      mountpoint: /data/local-persist/data/warrior/wapps
  katana-wui:
    driver: local-persist
    driver_opts:
      mountpoint: /data/local-persist/data/warrior/wui
  nginx-secrets:
    driver: local-persist
    driver_opts:

  katana-secrets:

</code></pre>

<p>local volumes dont work in openshift. i suggest you to convert docker-compose into kubernetes YAMLs using 'kompose convert' command.</p>

<p>Then review and update the pvc and pv's. Then finally deploy resources one by one</p>
