I'm using the rabbitmq helm chart from here: https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/rabbitmq-ha
and I want to store the messages and queues outside minikube so I can continue from there everytime I run minikube. However, I cannot see in the documentation how to add a volume or persistent volume to point to my host machine.
I found the answer thanks to Grigoriy Mikhalkin. My problem was that I was using hyperkit that deleted the data when I run minikube stop whereas if we use virtualbox as the driver and run minikube stop the data will be there next time we run minikube start
minikube start --driver=virtualboxHere is minikube docs for PersistentVolume. It supports hostPath out of the box, so you can just set it's path to any existing directory in your VM(i'm assume you using some VM as a driver). Then, if rabbitmq, persists any data in PersistentVolume, you cn retrieve it from there.
To get this data on your host, you will need to map VM directory(which you're using for hostPath) to host directory. You can access VM with minikube ssh command. Then read VM docs on how you cn map directory to host directory.
