I am writing a manifest for app deployment in Kubernetes v1.18.
I am hoping to have the hostpath directory created with POD name in it. Is this possible? It don't seem to work.
- name: datastore
hostPath:
path: /opt/datastore/${spec.podName}
type: DirectoryOrCreateYou could define an environment variable POD_NAME and refer to it
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: pod1
spec:
containers:
- name: container1
env:
- name: POD_NAME
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
apiVersion: v1
fieldPath: metadata.name
image: busybox
command: [ "sh", "-c", "while [ true ]; do echo 'Hello'; sleep 10; done | tee -a /logs/hello.txt" ]
volumeMounts:
- name: workdir1
mountPath: /logs
subPathExpr: $(POD_NAME)
restartPolicy: Never
volumes:
- name: workdir1
hostPath:
path: /var/log/pods
