Editing CCU:Perstistent storage on the Kubernetes cluster (section)

=== Copying data from within the container ===

You can get a root shell inside the container as usual (insert the correct pod name you used below):

<syntaxhighlight lang="yaml">
> kubectl exec -it access-pod -- /bin/bash
</syntaxhighlight>

Your pod has internet access. Thus, an option to get data to/from the pod, in particular into the persistent volume, is to use scp, which first might need to be installed inside the pod:

<syntaxhighlight lang="yaml">
# apt-get update && apt install openssh-client rsync
# cd /my-pvc-mount-path
# scp your.username@external-server:/path/to/data/. ./
</syntaxhighlight>

An even better variant would be "rsync -av" instead of scp, as this only copies files which are different or do not exist in the destination. By reversing source and destination, you can also copy data out of the container this way.
