'Converting from docker-compose to Kubernetes - how to deal with volumes on local

I'm try to get my local development environment converted from docker-compose to a flavour of lightweight Kubernetes, since our production environments are all Kubernetes (like). With the help of Kompose I could convert my settings. The part however I struggle with is the conversion of Docker volumes to a local developer machine Volume and Volume claim. Most examples I found cover drivers for S3 or NFS, which isn't what my development laptop offers.

So when I have in my docker-compose.yml a setting like this, what's the local development equivalent in k8s?

version: "3.6"
services:
  my_test:
    image: "myregistry.com/my_test"
    container_name: "demo"
    hostname: "demo.acme.local"
    stop_grace_period: 120s
    cap_add:
      - SYS_PTRACE
    ports:
      - 80:80
    volumes:
      - my_vol:/local/my_app
volumes:
  my_vol:
    name: "/local/containers/my_app"
    external: false

I'm "only" looking for the volume part. The rest seems clear.
Help is appreciated

Yes you can use the host path or you can use the emptydir that's on you

Probably hostpath would be a better option.

If you are planning to use the minikube you can also check out the PV and PVC option which is mostly for the persistence storage in Kubernetes.

Hostpath : https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#hostpath-configuration-example

emptydir : https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#emptydir
