I'm writing a helm chart where I need to supply a nfs.server
value for the volume mount from the ConfigMap
(efs-url in the example below).
There are examples in the docs on how to pass the value from the ConfigMap
to env variables or even mount ConfigMaps
. I understand how I can pass this value from the values.yaml
but I just can't find an example on how it can be done using a ConfigMap
.
I have control over this ConfigMap
so I can reformat it as needed.

Having analysed the comments it looks like using ConfigMap approach is not suitable for this example as ConfigMap
is an API object used to store non-confidential data in key-value pairs. Pods can consume ConfigMaps as environment variables, command-line arguments, or as configuration files in a volume.
To read more about ConfigMaps and how they can be utilized one can visit the "ConfigMaps" section and the "Configure a Pod to Use a ConfigMap" section.
