Helm Chart: docker-kubernetes-pv-local-storage

This is a Helm chart that lets you create a Kubernetes storage class for creating local persistent volumes for a local Kubernetes cluster started with Docker Desktop.

Install

1. Make sure hostpath is not default storage class: kubectl patch storageclass hostpath -p '{"metadata": {"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"false"}}}' (optional)
2. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/devspace-cloud/docker-kubernetes-pv-local-storage
3. Edit the values.yaml, e.g. to add additional persistentVolumes (optional)
4. Deploy the chart to your Kubernetes cluster: helm install --name=local-storage ./docker-kubernetes-pv-local-storage

You can check if your persistent volumes have been created by running:

kubectl get pv

Add/Remove Volumes

1. Update values.yaml and add/remove persistentVolumes
2. Run helm upgrade local-storage ./docker-kubernetes-pv-local-storage

Purge Persistent Volumes from Disk

When you delete the Kubernetes persistent volume object, the underlying data will still be stored on your disk. To purge the data from your computer permanently, run:

PV_NAME="my-local-pv-1"
docker run --net=host --ipc=host --uts=host --pid=host -it --security-opt=seccomp=unconfined --privileged --rm -v //:/docker-vm alpine //bin/sh -c "rm -r /docker-vm/var/lib/docker/k8s-local-storage/$PV_NAME"

Uninstall

helm del --purge local-storage
