Easiest way to do it is create a pod with a single container and save its definition in a YAML file:
kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --restart=Never -o yaml --dry-run=client -- /bin/sh -c 'echo hello;sleep 3600' > pod.yaml
vi pod.yaml
Copy/paste the container related values, so your final YAML should contain the following two containers (make sure those containers have a different name):
containers:
- args:
- /bin/sh
- -c
- echo hello;sleep 3600
image: busybox
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
name: busybox
resources: {}
- args:
- /bin/sh
- -c
- echo hello;sleep 3600
image: busybox
name: busybox2
kubectl create -f pod.yaml
# Connect to the busybox2 container within the pod
kubectl exec -it busybox -c busybox2 -- /bin/sh
ls
exit
# or you can do the above with just an one-liner
kubectl exec -it busybox -c busybox2 -- ls
# you can do some cleanup
kubectl delete po busybox
Easiest way to do it is create a pod with a single container and save its definition in a YAML file:
kubectl run web --image=nginx --restart=Never --port=80 --dry-run=client -o yaml > pod-init.yaml
Copy/paste the container related values, so your final YAML should contain the volume and the initContainer:
Volume:
containers:
- image: nginx
...
volumeMounts:
- name: vol
mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
volumes:
- name: vol
emptyDir: {}
initContainer:
...
initContainers:
- args:
- /bin/sh
- -c
- wget -O /work-dir/index.html http://neverssl.com/online
image: busybox
name: box
volumeMounts:
- name: vol
mountPath: /work-dir
In total you get:
apiVersion: v1
