PLEASE NOTE: This document applies to the HEAD of the source tree only. If you are using a released version of Kubernetes, you almost certainly want the docs that go with that version.
Documentation for specific releases can be found at releases.k8s.io.
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.
###Prerequisites The nfs server pod creates a privileged container, so if you are using a Salt based KUBERNETES_PROVIDER (gce, vagrant, aws), you have to enable the ability to create privileged containers by API.
#At the root of Kubernetes source code
$ vi cluster/saltbase/pillar/privilege.sls
# If true, allow privileged containers to be created by API
allow_privileged: true
Rebuild the Kubernetes and spin up a cluster using your preferred KUBERNETES_PROVIDER.
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>/
