Adding a volume component

You can use a volume component to share files among container components and collaborate with other teams during the development process. Volumes mounted in a container require a volume component with the same name. Volume components can be shared across container components.

Prerequisites

• Adding schema version

• Adding a name

• Adding components

Procedure

1. Add a volume component and specify the size of it.

   Minimal volume example

   devfile.yaml

   schemaVersion: 2.2.0
   metadata:
     name: mydevfile
   components:
     - name: mydevfile
       container:
         image: golang
         memoryLimit: 512Mi
         mountSources: true
         command: ['sleep', 'infinity']
         volumeMounts:
           - name: cache
             path: /.cache
     - name: cache
       volume:
         size: 2Gi
   

2. If you do not want your volume component to persist across restarts, specify it as ephemeral.

   Ephemeral volume example

   devfile.yaml

   schemaVersion: 2.2.0
   metadata:
     name: mydevfile
   components:
     - name: mydevfile
       volume:
         ephemeral: true
         size: 200G
