Hi @Sergey_Pronin , Thanks for you reply.

I tried to follow what @matthewb propose and I decided and move my PCX setup outside Kubernetes.  
I’m following the documentation [Installing Percona XtraDB Cluster - Percona XtraDB Cluster](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/8.0/install/index.html), and I believed that I missed something that cannot figure it out.  
I opened a new topic with what got so far here [Extra Node on PCX not starting](https://forums.percona.com/t/extra-node-on-pcx-not-starting/15937) (not sure if it’s already available).
