Is it possible to mount multiple volumes when starting minikube?

1/10/2019

I tried this but didn't work:

minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit --memory 8192 --mount \
               --mount-string /home/user/app1:/minikube-host/app1 \
               --mount-string /home/user/app2:/minikube-host/app2

but only /home/user/app2 was mounted.

Currently there is no way. Even using "minikube mount" you need to run each command in separate terminal, what is completely unusable

You can run multiple mount commands after starting your minikube to mount the different folders:

minikube mount /home/user/app1:/minikube-host/app1
minikube mount /home/user/app2:/minikube-host/app2

This will mount multiple folders in minikube .

There is no need for multiple volumes when starting in your case.

Also, minikube mount after start needs a terminal in running state(opened always).

You can mount /home/user -> /minikube-host. All the folders inside /home/user will be inside VM at /minikube-host.

  • /home/user/app1 will be available inside VM as /minikube-host/app1

  • /home/user/app2 will be available inside VM as /minikube-host/app2

    minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit --memory 8192 --mount \ --mount-string /home/user:/minikube-host

Hope this helps !
