7DtD's persistent state lives in TWO directories with no safe common
parent: the ~17.5GB game install (serverfiles/) and the world saves
(.local/share/7DaysToDie). Their only shared parent, /home/sdtdserver, also
holds user.sh — the ENTRYPOINT — so mounting a PVC there shadows it and the
container cannot even exec.

With only one PVC available, it had to go on the saves. That left the
17.5GB install on the node's ephemeral disk, where SteamCMD died with

  Failure! Installing sdtdserver: SteamCMD: Not enough disk space to
  download server files

and the server crash-looped, never once starting.

spec.storage.extra (Gameplane#137) now lets a template declare additional
volumes. serverfiles gets its own 45Gi PVC, so the install is downloaded
once and never touches ephemeral node disk.

Note: raising the PRIMARY PVC's size (an earlier attempt) did nothing — it
was never the disk that filled. Always check WHICH disk.

 summary: 7 Days to Die dedicated server (vinanrra/7dtd-server) with persistent world saves and image-native mod installers. No RCON console or wizard server settings — this image spreads them across directories the operator can't all mount at once.
