kubernetes

multiple command in postStart hook of a container


in a kubernetes Deployment yaml file is there a simple way to run multiple commands in the postStart hook of a container?

I'm trying to do something like this:

lifecycle:
  postStart:
    exec:
      command: ["/bin/cp", "/webapps/myapp.war", "/apps/"]
      command: ["/bin/mkdir", "-p", "/conf/myapp"]
      command: ["touch", "/conf/myapp/ready.txt"]

But it doesn't work. (looks like only the last command is executed)

I know I could embed a script in the container image and simply call it there... But I would like to be able to customize those commands in the yaml file without touching the container image.

thanks


Solution

  • Only one command allowed, but you can use sh -c like this

      lifecycle:
        postStart:
          exec:
            command:
              - "sh"
              - "-c"
              - >
                if [ -s /var/www/mybb/inc/config.php ]; then
                rm -rf /var/www/mybb/install;
                fi;
                if [ ! -f /var/www/mybb/index.php ]; then
                cp -rp /originroot/var/www/mybb/. /var/www/mybb/;
                fi
