velero configure-hostpath

Configure snapshots to use a host path as storage destination.

note

The local-volume-provider (LVP) plugin supports only Restic. Velero 1.17 and later do not support LVP. By default, KOTS uses the S3-compatible filesystem MinIO path for HostPath storage when MinIO is enabled. KOTS uses LVP only when you disable MinIO or explicitly install the LVP plugin. For more information, see Upgrade Velero for snapshots.

kubectl kots velero configure-hostpath [flags]
