1By default [K3S](https://k3s.io/) comes only with
2[local-path](https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner) storage
3class, and if you are running with more than one node in your cluster
4you may want to use a more \"distributed\" solution. For may case I
5opted for NFS.
6
7To check the current storage class you can run:
8
9``` bash
10k3s kubectl get storageclasses
11```
12
13And it will print something like:
14
15 NAME PROVISIONER RECLAIMPOLICY VOLUMEBINDINGMODE ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION AGE
16 local-path (default) rancher.io/local-path Delete WaitForFirstConsumer false 154d
17
18To start adding First you need to install
19[helm](https://github.com/helm/helm) on your server. To do so you may
20run:
21
22``` bash
23curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3 | bash
24```
25
26**Be careful when running scripts directly into bash always check the
27source** **Sometimes is also recommended to do not pipe directly to
28bash**
29
30Once it is installed we need to add the [NFS storage
31classes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/#nfs).
32It has two providers, I have chose [NFS Subdir External
33Provisioner](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner).
34
35Add the helm repo
36
37``` bash
38helm repo add nfs-subdir-external-provisioner https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner/
39```
40
41Then we need to actually install the provider
42
43``` bash
44helm install nfs-subdir-external-provisioner nfs-subdir-external-provisioner/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner \
45 --set nfs.server=x.x.x.x \
46 --set nfs.path=/exported/path
47```
48
49Set the `nfs.server` and `nfs.path` accordingly with your setup.
50
51After that if we run `k3s kubectl get storageclasses` it will now print
52another NFS provider:
53
54 NAME PROVISIONER RECLAIMPOLICY VOLUMEBINDINGMODE ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION AGE
55 local-path (default) rancher.io/local-path Delete WaitForFirstConsumer false 154d
56 nfs-client cluster.local/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner Delete Immediate true 76m
