Python Application Image run in Docker but It does not run in Kubernets

Question

I have been trying to run a Python Django application on Kubernets but not success. The application runs fine in Docker.

This is the yaml Deployment to Kubernets:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  annotations:
    deployment.kubernetes.io/revision: "1"
  creationTimestamp: "2022-02-06T14:48:45Z"
  generation: 1
  labels:
    app: keyvault
  name: keyvault
  namespace: default
  resourceVersion: "520"
  uid: ccf0e490-517f-4102-b282-2dcd71008948

    message: Deployment does not have minimum availability.

This is the docker compose file I'm using to run the image in Docker:

version: "3.9"
   
services:
  web:
    build: .
    command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    volumes:
      - .:/code
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"

This is the docker file I'm using to run the image in Docker:

FROM python:3.9
WORKDIR /code
COPY requirements.txt /code/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /code/

Kubectl describe pod Output:

Thanks for your help.

This is a community wiki answer posted for better visibility. Feel free to expand it.

Based on the comments, the solution should be as shown below.

1. Remove volumes definition from the Compose file:

version: "3.9"

services:
  web:
    build: .
    command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"

2. Specify the startup command with CMD for an image in Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.9
WORKDIR /code
COPY requirements.txt /code/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /code/
CMD ["python3","manage.py","runserver"] 

Then translate a Docker Compose file to Kubernetes resources. This can be done with using Kompose or another suitable solution.
