These can be mounted as normal volumes in our +containers. Although our K3S installation has a local path provisioner these +volumes are limited to one single node. We need another solution that shares +the volumes between nodes. That's where longhorn comes in. + +Follow the official longhorn installation instructions: + +https://longhorn.io/docs/1.0.0/deploy/install/install-with-helm/ + +If you have a particular mount on the cluster nodes that has more space than +the default `/var` path, you may want to customize this setting. For longhorn +1.0 you can do this by adding `--set defaultSettings.defaultDataPath=/data` to +your helm install command. + ### Storage - Local Large Cache **DEPRECATED**: See local path provisioner above.
