Persisting Files

[am486dx]

Hi - huge fan of Voyager btw :)

We're hoping to deploy Kubernetes on Janeway, but Kubernetes can't mount/persist directories with application code in them like Docker does - it will simply overwrite the folder. This is only an issue for the src/ folder, which stores both application state information (like the logos + articles) and important code for the application.

My (hopefully) quick question is, do you know which subdirectories in /src store application state information? If only /files and /media and /textures are modified, for example, Kubernetes setup should be quite easy, we can mount/persist those folders within /src. However, if application state information is stored in many subdirectories all over /src, the amount of volume mounts required would become infeasible.

Thank you!

Hey @am486dx,

we talked about this a few times on Discord, did you make any progress on this?

Andy,

Yes, I came to what I believe is an acceptable solution. I completely forgot I had even made this post. If there's something you want to know about it let me know, otherwise I'll just close the discussion.

Would we be able to find some time to talk about it? We want to put together something for other folks who're interested in using Janeway with Docker and K8s.

Sure thing! Just shoot me a message on Discord and we can set up a time.
Also, I've made the docker repository public here: https://github.com/USMAI-Library-Consortium/janeway-k8s-docker/tree/main
