I am following the developer guide to deploy SCDF to a minikube cluster on my local machine. Used the helm chart approach. Was able to get it working with the defaults. The default deploys a mariadb in the cluster. I wanted to change it to use an external mysql db that is running in a docker container in my machine (outside the cluster). Followed the recommendations to change the values.yaml to enable the external DB and attributes for external DB connection (URI, dbname, user/pwd etc.).
Then deployed using "helm install my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/spring-cloud-dataflow"
The SCDF pod (& skipper pod) errors out because it can't find the mysql jdbc driver. kubectl logs on the pods show the following error: "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver"
How do I include the mysql jdbc driver in the image for SCDF that gets deployed (or resolve this problem). I read SCDF already includes the drivers for std databases (true ?). New to helm/k8s so apologies if solution is obvious... Other posts on similar error all talk about including this in the pom.xml . But this is not a dependency issue with my (task) app but SCDF itself.
thanks
