Joel Lord (joel__lord on Twitter) is passionate about the web and technology in general. He likes to learn new things, but most of all, he wants to share his discoveries. He does so by traveling to various conferences all across the globe. He graduated from college with a degree in computer programming in the last millennium. Apart from a little break to get his BSc in computational astrophysics, he has always worked in the industry. In his daily job, Joel is a developer advocate with MongoDB, where he connects with software engineers to help them make the web better by using best practices around JavaScript. In his free time, he can be found stargazing on a campground somewhere or brewing a fresh batch of beer in his garage.

Sharing data

Because all the steps in a task are actually containers running in a single Pod, it is possible to share volumes across those containers. In fact, tasks already do that for you. There are various ways to use this volume, or you could mount your own from an existing PersistentVolumeClaim.

Accessing the home directory

Deprecation notice

As documented in pull request #3878 (https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/pull/3878), this feature has been deprecated as of version 0.24. If you are using version 0.20.1 as specified in Chapter 3, Installation and Getting Started, it might work, but there are no guarantees that it won't break when using a more recent version of Tekton.

An easy way to share information across your steps is to use the home directory directly. When tasks are initiated, the task run will mount a volume named /tekton/home in each container that runs a step. Accessing this folder is simply a matter of changing the directory to ~.
