I am running minikube v0.24.1. In this minikube, I will create a Pod for my nginx application. And also I want to pass data from my local directory.
That means I want to mount my local $HOME/go/src/github.com/nginx
into my Pod
How can I do this?
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
containers:
- image: nginx:0.1
name: nginx
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /data
name: volume
volumes:
- name: volume
hostPath:
path: /data
You can't mount your local directory into your Pod directly.
First, you need to mount your directory $HOME/go/src/github.com/nginx
into your minikube.
$ minikube start --mount-string="$HOME/go/src/github.com/nginx:/data" --mount
Then If you mount /data
into your Pod using hostPath, you will get you local directory data into Pod.
There is another way
Host's $HOME
directory gets mounted into minikube's /hosthome
directory. Here you will get your data
$ ls -la /hosthome/go/src/github.com/nginx
So to mount this directory, you can change your Pod's hostPath
hostPath:
path: /hosthome/go/src/github.com/nginx
