Specifying persistent storage

Components of any type can specify the custom volumes to be mounted on specific locations within the image. Note that the volume names are shared across all components and therefore this mechanism can also be used to share file systems between components.

Procedure

Specify volumes for container type:

Example 1. Specifying volumes for container type:

schemaVersion: 2.0.0
metadata:
  name: MyDevfile
components:
  - name: MyDevfile
    container:
      image: golang
      memoryLimit: 512Mi
      mountSources: true
      command: ['sleep', 'infinity']
      volumeMounts:
        - name: cache
          path: /.cache

Specify volumes for plugin type:

Example 2. Specifying volumes for plugin type:

scheamVersion: 2.0.0
metadata:
  name: MyDevfile
components:
  - name: theia-editor
    plugin:
      id: eclipse/che-theia/next
      env:
      - name: HOME
        value: $(PROJECTS_ROOT)
      volumeMounts:
      - name: cache
        path: /.cache

Specify volumes for kubernetes/openshift type:

Example 3. Specifying volumes for kubernetes/openshift type:

schemaVersion: 2.0.0
metadata:
  name: MyDevfile
components:
  - name: mongo
    openshift:
      reference: mongo-db.yaml
      volumeMounts:
      - name: mongo-persistent-storage
        path: /data/db
