Volumes

Volumes provide a way to store persistent data for your applications.

You can add volumes to your deployment after you deployed the application. You can do this in the application settings or directly in the Gimlet manifest file. This page shows Gimlet manifest examples.

Basic Volume Configuration

Example:

  volumes:
    - name: data
      path: /data
      size: 10Gi

More settings:

• pvcAnnotations: Key-value pairs that you can configure for various purposes. Learn more about annotations here. When you use annotations this way, you don't need the name variable.
• storageClass: Slug indicating the disk type of your cloud provider.

Use an Existing Volume Claim

Example:

  volumes:
    - path: /data
      existingClaim: my-pvc

Use a Path From The Host

Example:

  volumes:
    - name: data
      path: /data
      hostPath:
        path: /somewhere/over/the/rainbow

Use an Ephemeral Volume

Example:

  volumes:
    - name: ephemeral-volume
      path: /data
      size: 10Gi
      emptyDir: true

Mount an Existing configMap as a File

Example:

  volumes:
    - name: data
      path: /data/dummy.conf
      existingConfigMap: data
      subPath: dummy.conf

Custom String to Mount as a File

Example:

  volumes:
    - name: data
      path: /data
      size: 10Gi
      fileContent: mysecretjsoncontent
      fileName: credentials.json
