You can test a local PersistentVolume and a PersistentVolumeClaim with the following files. (this example was tested on a docker-desktop kubernetes cluster)

1 - Create a PersistentVolume on your host monted on a local directory (add an index.html file in that directory with a hello world message)
kubectl apply -f ./PersistentVolume/spec.local/local.yaml

2 - Create the PersitentVolumeClaim
kubectl apply -f ./PersistentVolumeClaim/pvc.yaml

3 - Spin up a Pod with nginx poiting where its default root directory points to your host’s directory
kubectl apply -f ./Pod/spec.volumes.persistentVolumeClaim/pod-pvc.yaml

4 - Port forward your Pod and access it with your browser. You should be able to see the index.html file from your local directory.
kubectl port-forward volume-pvc :80

Clean up

kubectl delete -f ./Pod/spec.volumes.persistentVolumeClaim/pod-pvc.yaml
kubectl delete -f ./PersistentVolumeClaim/pvc.yaml
kubectl delete -f ./PersistentVolume/spec.local/local.yaml
