Cluster information:
Kubernetes version: minikube version: v0.28.2
Host OS: Ubuntu 16.04 server
Greetings…
the document states, "“A hostPath volume mounts a file or directory from the host node’s filesystem into your Pod.”
I created my minikube cluster in my Ubuntu16.04 server, the ‘node’ is thus a virtualbox VM. Should hostpath be a path in the VM, or the real path on the Ubuntu host? In the YAML file below, the /home/user1/data/mq and /home/user1/log/mq are two directories on the Ubuntu server that I want to mount to two directories in the container in the Pod. Although the pod and container are running, the mount didn’t happen. Should I first mount the path to the VM and then mount further into the container in the pod?
Can anyone share a success experience how it should be done?
