Persistent Volumes
Mount persistent cluster disk pathways inside container runtimes to preserve storage across updates.
Dequel container instances are ephemeral by default. When a new deployment occurs, the old container is deleted, taking all local filesystem changes with it.
To store uploaded assets, databases, or local file caches, mount a Persistent Volume.
Creating a Volume Mount
Under the Volumes tab, click Add Volume:
- Enter a mount path inside the container environment (e.g.
/app/uploads). - Click Add Volume.
- Dequel allocates block storage space on the cluster nodes and maps it to your container’s target folder.
Adding or deleting volumes modifies the low-level container host bindings. To apply these mount pathways, you must trigger a container restart via the Redeploy Now prompt banner at the top of the volumes tab.
Data Security & Backups
Because data is tied directly to cluster block volumes, data persists even if you update environment variables, scale container replicas, or deploy code rollbacks.
