Deploying Helm chart to local Kubernetes gives FileSystemException

[ngruson (Nils Gruson)]

I'm trying to deploy Elasticsearch 7.9.3 to my local Kubernetes cluster running in Docker Desktop.
I cloned the helm charts for Elasticsearch from GitHub ( helm-charts/elasticsearch at main · elastic/helm-charts (github.com) to include it as a subchart of an overarching umbrella chart.

When I try to deploy using the Helm chart, I see the following error in the logs of the Elasticsearch pod:

Likely root cause: java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /usr/share/elasticsearch/data/nodes/0: Not a directory

It looks like it cannot create the mount path of the volume mount.
In statefulset.yaml of the Helm chart:

          {{- if .Values.persistence.enabled }}
          - name: "{{ template "elasticsearch.uname" . }}"
            mountPath: /usr/share/elasticsearch/data
          {{- end }}

How can I make the chart play nice with Docker Desktop?

[ngruson (Nils Gruson)]

I modified statefulset.yaml a little bit.

{{- if .Values.persistence.enabled }}
- name: "{{ template "elasticsearch.uname" . }}"
  mountPath: /run/desktop/mnt/host/c/data/elasticsearch
{{- end }}

Then the Elasticsearch pod gets created succesfully, but no files are being created in C:\data\Elasticsearch on the host (my laptop). So every time I run the Helm deployment, I have a clean sheet in terms of Elasticsearch data. How can I persist data between deployments?

Here's the stateful.yaml that gets deployed:
