Is it possible to mount multiple volumes when starting minikube?

Question

I tried this but didn't work:

minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit --memory 8192 --mount \
               --mount-string /home/user/app1:/minikube-host/app1 \
               --mount-string /home/user/app2:/minikube-host/app2

but only /home/user/app2 was mounted.

Answer 1

You can run multiple mount commands after starting your minikube to mount the different folders:

minikube mount /home/user/app1:/minikube-host/app1
minikube mount /home/user/app2:/minikube-host/app2

This will mount multiple folders in minikube .

Answer 2

There is no need for multiple volumes when starting in your case.

Also, minikube mount after start needs a terminal in running state(opened always).

You can mount /home/user -> /minikube-host. All the folders inside /home/user will be inside VM at /minikube-host.

• /home/user/app1 will be available inside VM as /minikube-host/app1

• /home/user/app2 will be available inside VM as /minikube-host/app2

  minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit --memory 8192 --mount \ --mount-string /home/user:/minikube-host

Hope this helps !
