See nfs-web-pod.yaml for a quick example, how to use NFS volume in a pod.

The example below shows how to export a NFS share from a pod and import it into another one.

Define NFS server pod and NFS service:

$ kubectl create -f nfs-server-pod.yaml
$ kubectl create -f nfs-server-service.yaml

The server exports /mnt/data directory as / (fsid=0). The directory contains dummy index.html. Wait until the pod is running!

WEB server pod uses the NFS share exported above as a NFS volume and runs simple web server on it. The pod assumes your DNS is configured and the NFS service is reachable as nfs-server.default.kube.local. Edit the yaml file to supply another name or directly its IP address (use kubectl get services to get it).

Define the pod:

$ kubectl create -f nfs-web-pod.yaml

Now the pod serves index.html from the NFS server:

$ curl http://<the container IP address>/
Hello World!
