kubernetes, modules folder, volumes

[david htbs]

Hello

My customer requested to host his prestashop website on Kubernetes.

He provided a zip file containing his website content.

I successfully deployed it in Kubernetes.

But I have some questions (I don't know prestashop)

The customer informed me the "modules" folder must be writable, because some modules write in this folder.

Do you confirm this ?

But this folder is versionned in the git repository and restored with each deployment.

I don't understand how to deal with this folder.

Is there a way to know "modules" subfolders contain changed files after the deployement ?

Thanks.

David.

Hi, if your Prestashop site is on a repository, after deploy you need (recommend test on a staging before live) to update modules. Modules have their own repository and updated continuously (bug fix, security fix, new features...)

Hello

I update the "modules" folder  during the docker image build. (with composer)

So the "modules" is static, overwritten with each build.

But the customer informed that during the application run, some modules upload files (like images) in the "modules" subfolders.

So the "modules" folder contain code and uploaded files.

So, they are lost with each deployment.

The only solution I know :

Mount a persistent volume for each subfolder containing dynamic files
