Persistent Volume Claim¶

This is probably the most common storage type, therefore it is also the default when no type is specified.

It can be attached in two ways.

Dynamically provisioned¶

Charts can be configured to create the required persistentVolumeClaim manifests on the fly.

Field	Mandatory	Docs / Description
`accessMode`	Yes	link
`size`	Yes	link
`nameOverride`	No	Override the name suffix that is used for this volume.
`storageClass`	No	Storage class to use for this volume.
`retain`	No	Set to true to retain the PVC upon `helm uninstall`.

persistence:
  config:
    enabled: true
    type: persistentVolumeClaim
    accessMode: ReadWriteOnce
    size: 1Gi

This will create a 1Gi RWO PVC named RELEASE-NAME-config with the default storageClass, which will mount to /config.

Charts can be configured to attach to a pre-existing persistentVolumeClaim.

Field	Mandatory	Docs / Description
`existingClaim`	Yes	Name of the existing PVC
`nameOverride`	No	Override the name suffix that is used for this volume.

persistence:
  config:
    enabled: true
    type: persistentVolumeClaim
    existingClaim: myAppData

This will mount an existing PVC named myAppData to /config.
