how to persist data for postgres and mounted hostpath volume

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. minikube start --driver=virtualbox --network-plugin=cni --memory=5120 --kubernetes-version=v1.18.3 --container-runtime=docker
2. kubernetes postgres pod manifest: https://gist.github.rcac.purdue.edu/anonymous/06a838ab2af44d6347c54b0f6f5b7a44

version: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: pg-pod
  labels:
    name: postgres
spec:
  containers:
  - name: postgres
    image: postgres:12.3
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    ports:
    - name: pg-port
      containerPort: 5432
    env:
    - name: POSTGRES_PASSWORD
      value: admin
    - name: PGDATA
    - value: /data/k8s
    volumeMounts:
    - name: pg-vol
      mountPath: /var/lib/postgresql/data
    securityContext:
      runAsUser: 0
      runAsGroup: 0
  volumes:
  - name: pg-vol
    hostPath:
      path: /Users/<path-to>/database/data
  restartPolicy: Never
  securityContext:
    runAsUser: 1000
    runAsGroup: 1000
    fsGroup: 1000

3. kubectl apply -f postgres-pod.yaml

I am trying to persist the data to the host machine and not the minikube vm. The above manifest works and no errors are reported but the data files are not persisted to the host machine, but they are in the minikube vm.

I have been fidgeting with the security context and the above configuration doesn't throw ‘permission denied’ errors. How to pass through the data files onto the host machine?

host machine <---> minikube vm <---> pod/container

My understanding is that /Users should reflect in both minikube vm and host machine [https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/mount/]

Start with the provided postgres-pod.yaml manifest, the minikube start command, and the linked minikube mount documentation. Reproduce the hostPath behavior and compare the host, minikube VM, and pod paths; the issue is done when the persistence behavior and required configuration are clearly documented or corrected.
