[Dashboard] Pvc status / resize ?

[batleforc]

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe

For practicability reasons, I've set my default PVC size to 10Gb. Sometime i end up filling my workspace PVC and can’t start (project-clone simply fail and crash if there is no space left on the device).
One of the cases i have happened while working on a pretty big rust project that filled a whole 150Gb of storage in about an hour (always happen if you try to upgrade all your packages).

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like two things:

• knowing the max size of the PVC ( and the current usage in a workspace by doing a df -h in project root ?) ( in the details tab ?)
• being hable to resize PVC with a +5Gb button or a number input (most likely in the advanced tab)

Describe alternatives you've considered

@tolusha @ibuziuk could you help triage this issue? I'm not sure whether managing PVC from the user dashboard would be possible

@batleforc, thanks for reporting the enhancement. I'm not sure which k8s distro you are using, but I would assume the actions described in the description should be possible right from the k8s dashboard?

Exposing PVC data as well on the User Dashboard could also be a nice improvement. Do you happen to have UX mockups for this functionality?

[batleforc]

@batleforc What i had in mind was reproducing the Openshift console view over PVC has it's for me the best possible for this case.
No Ux mockups but i should really start working on it 🤣 .
What i had in mind is either putting it in the Advanced or a dedicated tab in the workspace details.
For the content i was going for reproducing the console and adding a button +5 Gb or an input set storage

And we try to prevent the user touching too much of the console

The overall idea looks good, and contributions are most welcome!
Some caveats that we should potentially consider on UI:

• show the resize capability only if allowVolumeExpansion is enabled on the dedicated storage class
• WARNING: shrinking persistent volumes is not supported; request the storage pragmatically

@ibuziuk
Ok, i will work on it. But my only worries is that we may need to have the right of reading the storage class.
