@amisevsk I guess the issue you faced is in forbidden hostPath volume (I think it’s not related to /plugins folder permissions issue that is described here). I’ve reported it in https://github.com/minishift/minishift/issues/3349 and I believe it’s not Che related issue at all. Could you check oc describe pv pvXXXX to make sure that you have the same issue? If yes - executing oc adm policy add-scc-to-group hostmount-anyuid system:serviceaccounts as admin user should help you to solve this issue.

@l0rd I believe sidecars is just a subfolder in plugins. It’s created by the plugin broker, but I have no idea why it fails.

I run minishift with kvm so I’ll check in a bit if I can reproduce.
