Actually Docker Desktop App as default sharing Users, private etc. folder with Docker Images.

But Minikube need minikube mount bidirectional folder sync. From this reason i will say, use your own simple folder structure for Minikube hostPath Solution. For example:

Macbook Folder: $home/minikubeprojects
Minikube Cluster: mnt1/minikubeprojects

For mounting, you need after minikube start only this

 korayzorluoglu@MBP-von-Koray ~ % minikube mount $HOME/minikubeprojects:/mnt1/minikubeprojects

Example Configuration

Project / chart / values.yaml

mountPath: /var/www/html
nginx:
  image: nginx:1.14.2

php:
  image: php:8.1-rc-fpm-alpine

          volumeMounts:

          args: [ "while true; do sleep 30; done;" ]
        - name: php
          image: {{ .Values.php.image }}
          volumeMounts:
            - name: php8-project-pv-storage

Project / chart / templates / configmap.yaml

  nginx.conf: |
    events {
    }
    http {
      server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;

        # Set nginx to serve files from the shared volume!
        root {{ .Values.mountPath }};
        server_name _;
        location / {
          try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
          include fastcgi_params;
          fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
          fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
          fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        }
      }
    }

do you need mount directoy check? for that, check the minikube directory and pod directory, or the pod details via kubectl pod describe your-chart-name

korayzorluoglu@MBP-von-Koray chart % minikube ssh && cd /mnt1/minikubeprojects && tree

Enjoy!
