Adding Storage

What is persistence?

Persistence defines all forms of “storage” that can be added to a chart. This can be config text mounted to a file, RAMdisks, or most frequently, actual data storage.

Requirements

For PVC storage to function correctly, it’s important to already have a storageClass defined and a “Container Storage Interface” setup. Some platforms ship with this (SCALE, Harvester) while others need you to set this up manually (TalOS).

How to Setup

To setup persistence, add the following section to your values.yaml manually and adapt as needed:

values.yaml

persistence:
  config:
    enabled: true
    type: pvc
    mountPath: /mystorage

values.yaml

persistence:
  config:
    enabled: true
    type: nfs
    path: /mnt/data/media
    mountPath: /media
    server: 192.168.0.100

In some cases an ingress might already been partly defined. That means you should append the information as you need it, but not touch, for example, the mountPath.
