Data Storage⚓︎

Before you start working with the platform, you should know how data storage works. This section provides an overview of the storage services provided by prokube and how to use them.

Caveats⚓︎

  • Redundancy: prokube can work with redundant and non-redundant storage, this is subject to the underlying hardware prokube is running on. Please regard all storage provided by prokube as not redundant until confirmed otherwise by your administrator.
  • Storing your code: prokube is usually not the right place for long-term code storage. Please use a version control system like git for code storage. If you do not have a git server for your team, prokube can provide a local GitLab instance for you.

Storage Services⚓︎

prokube provides various storage services to store and access data. These services include:

  • MinIO: An S3 compatible object storage server
  • PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB: Relational databases for structured data and time series data
  • Kubernetes Persistent Volumes: Volumes that can be used in various ways

Deployment of most other storage services is possible, as prokube runs on a Kubernetes infrastructure. If you need a specific storage service, please ask your administrator.
