How to deploy Answer in kubernetes?

There are two issues that need to be resolved if you need to deploy answer to k8s.

Install

The first time you deploy answer you need to install, we need to automate the installation by setting environment variables.

FYI: https://answer.dev/docs/env#for-auto-install

Depending on your situation, configure the correct environment variables to complete the installation.

Storage

By default without the plugin, Answer saves configuration files, cache, and image files in a local directory. So the data directory needs to be persisted.

So it would be best if you used StatefulSet and PersistentVolume. Configure the volume and mount it in the appropriate directory.

For example:

          volumeMounts:
            - name: data
              mountPath: "/data/"

    - kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
      apiVersion: v1
      metadata:
        name: data
      spec:
        accessModes:
          - ReadWriteMany
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 2Gi
        storageClassName: nfs-client
        volumeMode: Filesystem
