Disable the auto-mounting of the shared volume created at the start of the pipeline

[Deddinho23]

Hello everyone!

Let me describe our situation:
We are using the latest version of Woodpecker CI within our Kubernetes Cluster and we are having issues running pipelines that use multiple Services simultaneously. This happens because, even though we have configured from the chart that the volumes used are not in RWX, the services all want to mount the same shared pipeline volume, and this means that if one of the Services is scheduled on a different node from the others, it ends up hanging indefinitely, unable to mount the volume.

Hence my consideration:
If the Services (or potentially even normal Steps of the pipeline) do not need the shared volume, is there a way to disable their auto-mounting? Or something similar? If this is not possible, have you ever thought about adding this feature?
From my point of view, it would be very useful and would allow better functioning of non-RWX Agents!

Let me know what you think or if you need any more details :)

That's not possible yet.

About services, I understand your point. I'll just convert this into a feature request. For regular steps I would be kinda against this because we're a CU system that runs on the code and not a tool to execute anything not related to this (if we add this for services though this doesn't matter, it would be possible for both then).

Thank you for your response!

I understand and appreciate that you've converted my request into a feature request: I agree with keeping the focus of the CU system, but I'm glad to know there's a possibility to improve the functionality for Services.
Thanks again for considering this!

After #4675 is merged this should be quite easy to add

Great! Let me know if there are any updates :)
