First, Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume claims for database configuration and exports storage are needed. They should be provisioned with around 1GB (for the database configuration) to 10GB (for exports storage) of space (this can be increased or decreased according to your needs) and ReadWriteOnce access mode is recommended. This space will be used for the workspace of the CTP server.

You must have a well-formatted db_config.xml present in the volume you are mounting. See the db_config.xml below for an example of one that is well-formatted. You can copy the example below into the volume you are mounting if you prefer; whatever configuration you need to do will be done within the application itself.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <db_config>
        <connection>
            <url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/em?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&sessionVariables=sql_mode=NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES&useSSL=false&allowPublicKeyRetrieval=true</url>
            <username>em</username>
            <password>em</password>
        </connection>
    </db_config>
</configuration>

The default Persistent Volume Claim names are 'ctp-config-storage' and 'ctp-exports-storage' and these names can be customized by updating the yaml definition of the CTP server. The example shown below is a configuration to set up NFS Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims. While the example uses NFS, this is not required; use whatever persistent volume type fits your needs.
