15.3. Consuming NFS exports in-cluster

Procedure

1. On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to Workloads Pods.
2. Click Create Pod to create a new application pod.
3. Under the metadata section add a name. For example, nfs-export-example, with namespace as openshift-storage.

4. Under the spec: section, add containers: section with image and volumeMounts sections:

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Pod
   metadata:
    name: nfs-export-example
    namespace: openshift-storage
   spec:
    containers:
      - name: web-server
        image: nginx
        volumeMounts:
          - name: <volume_name>
            mountPath: /var/lib/www/html

   For example:

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Pod
   metadata:
    name: nfs-export-example
    namespace: openshift-storage
   spec:
    containers:
      - name: web-server
        image: nginx
        volumeMounts:
          - name: nfs-export-pvc
            mountPath: /var/lib/www/html

5. Under the spec: section, add volumes: section to add the NFS PVC as a volume for the application pod:

   volumes:
     - name: <volume_name>
       persistentVolumeClaim:
         claimName: <pvc_name>

   For example:

   volumes:
     - name: nfs-export-pvc
       persistentVolumeClaim:
         claimName: my-nfs-export
