HyperV + Kubernetes mounting a volume

john151 · August 5, 2024, 9:21pm

If I am using Docker Desktop + HyperV + Kubernetes, is it possible to mount a shared volume into the pod? I tried like this and it didn’t work. With WSL, I was able to do /run/desktop/mnt/host/c/tmp

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: airflow
  labels:
    type: local
spec:
  storageClassName: manual
  capacity:
    storage: 8Gi
  accessModes:
    - ReadOnlyMany
  hostPath:
    path: /mnt/c/test

You have two options:

declare it inside the pod specs: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#hostpath
declare it as persistent volume: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#local

If you map this to docker containers, the first is what binds do, and the second what named volumes backed by a bind do.
