External Storage (NFS)

The following example shows how to apply external storage for the Image Registry Operator.

Attention

The following assumes an NFS share is already created on the network and operational. If not see NFS Server & Client.

Create the PV

1. Create the PV yaml file

   cat << EOF | oc create -f -
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: PersistentVolume
   metadata:
     name: bfg-nfs1
   spec:
     capacity:
       storage: 200Gi
     accessModes:
     - ReadWriteMany
     nfs:
       path: /mirror/nfs
       server: 192.168.1.72
     persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
   EOF
   

2. Verify the PV

   oc get pv
   
   NAME       CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   RECLAIM POLICY   STATUS
   bfg-nfs1   200Gi      RWO            Retain           Available
   

Create the PVC

Important

The pvc needs to match the pv’s “accessModes”, “storage”, and “volumeName”.

1. Create the PVC yaml file

   cat << EOF | oc create -f -
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
   metadata:
     annotations:
       imageregistry.openshift.io: "true"
     finalizers:
     - kubernetes.io/pvc-protection
     name: image-registry-storage
     namespace: openshift-image-registry
   spec:
     accessModes:
     - ReadWriteMany
     resources:
       requests:
         storage: 200Gi
     volumeMode: Filesystem
     volumeName: bfg-nfs1
   EOF
   

2. Verifiy the PVC

   oc get pvc
   
   NAME                     STATUS   VOLUME     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
   image-registry-storage   Bound    bfg-nfs1   200Gi      RWO                           22h
   

   oc get pv
   
   NAME       CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   RECLAIM POLICY   STATUS      CLAIM
   bfg-nfs1   200Gi      RWO            Retain           Bound       openshift-image-registry/image-registry-storage
