I was experimenting with something with Kubernetes Persistent Volumes, I can't find a clear explanation in Kubernetes documentation and the behaviour is not the one I am expecting so I like to ask here.
I configured following Persistent Volume and Persistent Volume Claim.
kind: PersistentVolume
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: store-persistent-volume
namespace: test
spec:
storageClassName: hostpath
capacity:
storage: 2Gi
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
hostPath:
path: "/Volumes/Data/data"
---
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: store-persistent-volume-claim
namespace: test
spec:
storageClassName: hostpath
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
and the following Deployment and Service configuration.
kind: Deployment
apiVersion: apps/v1beta2
metadata:
name: store-deployment
namespace: test
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
k8s-app: store
template:
metadata:
labels:
k8s-app: store
spec:
volumes:
- name: store-volume
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: store-persistent-volume-claim
containers:
- name: store
image: localhost:5000/store
ports:
- containerPort: 8383
protocol: TCP
volumeMounts:
- name: store-volume
mountPath: /data
---
#------------ Service ----------------#
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
labels:
k8s-app: store
name: store
namespace: test
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
ports:
- port: 8383
targetPort: 8383
selector:
k8s-app: store
As you can see I defined '/Volumes/Data/data' as Persistent Volume and expecting that to mount that to '/data' container.
So I am assuming whatever in '/Volumes/Data/data' in the host should be visible at '/data' directory at container. Is this assumption correct? Because this is definitely not happening at the moment.
My second assumption is, whatever I save at '/data' should be visible at host, which is also not happening.
I can see from Kubernetes console that everything started correctly, (Persistent Volume, Claim, Deployment, Pod, Service...)
Am I understanding the persistent volume concept correctly at all?
PS. I am trying this in a Mac with Docker (18.05.0-ce-mac67(25042) -Channel edge), may be it should not work at Mac?
Thx for answers
Assuming you are using multi-node Kubernetes cluster, you should be able to see the data mounted locally at /Volumes/Data/data on the specific worker node that pod is running
You can check on which worker your pod is scheduled by using the command kubectl get pods -o wide -n test
Please note, as per kubernetes docs, HostPath (Single node testing only – local storage is not supported in any way and WILL NOT WORK in a multi-node cluster) PersistentVolume
It does work in my case.
WIth the following commands you can check your persistentVolumes and claims:
kubectl get pv
kubectl get pvc
and see whether the volume you defined are bound with your claims.
Once your pod started you can enter the container and see your data at /data
kubectl exec -ti <your_pod> -- bash
当您使用主机路径时,您应该在运行 pod 的工作节点中检查这个“/data”。
Like the guy said above. You need to run a 'kubectl get po -n test -o wide' and you will see the node the pod is hosted on. Then if you SSH that worker you can see the volume
