Kubernetes | Mount config to pod

1

Hello maybe anyone can help me but I try to mount my configuration.yaml to my Homeassistant that runs in Kubernetes as a pod.
I delploy HA only to a specific node in my cluster so there is a folder where configuration.yaml and other files stored

but I can’t see that this files are mounted within the pod when I connect to the pod

here is my manifest
`apiVersion: v1
kind: List
items:

  • apiVersion: v1
    kind: PersistentVolume
    metadata:
    name: pv-ha
    labels:
    type: local
    spec:

    storage: 100Mi

It’s kinda hard to read because the formatting is messed up in your config, but here is my config that works which you can use as a basis. You’ll need to put your own IPs in etc.

I’m planning on moving my actual config to a configmap soon, but due to the decision (discussed many a time!) for not all config to be in the config file, home assistant will always be hard to run properly on kubernetes (imho) and I’m not just using HA as a gateway to between MQTT and GA (as I can’t find a simpler way atm!)
