How to bring a docker data container to Kubernetes? I have an application that relies on 4 docker data containers for the data it needs to run some tests. At the moment I have their docker-compose file and their images but I don't have access to the data containers Dockerfile or actual data.

How this application works in docker-compose is as below: The application is called rtsp_server and it loads different volumes from the data containers such as st-andries4(I just wrote one of them).

This is their docker-compose:

# The application
rtsp_server:
  image: rtsp_server_image
  volumes_from:
    - rtsp_data_st_andries4:ro
  ports:
    - "8554:8554"
  command: python ./rtsp-server.py /rtsp_data/st-andries-4 st_andries_4

# Data container
rtsp_data_st_andries4:
  image: st_andries_4:1
  volumes:
    - /rtsp_data/st-andries-4
  command: /bin/true
  mem_limit: 10000000000


I already brought the application, rtsp_server, to Kubernetes and it works fine but I need to also bring the data containers to k8s but I don't know how to do it.
You'll want to look through the Kubernetes Volume documentation to see what options are available.

In particular look into the PersistentVolumeClaim.  This allows you to setup a shared data volume for your pods.  Here's an example snippet from a k8s deployment YAML using a volume:

spec:
      containers:
      - image: **yourdbcontainer**
        name: mysql-db
        env:
        - name: example
          value: example_value
        ports:
        - containerPort: 3306
          name: mysql-db
        volumeMounts:
        - name: mysql-persistent-storage
          mountPath: /var/lib/mysql
      volumes:
      - name: mysql-persistent-storage
        persistentVolumeClaim:
          claimName: mysql-pv-claim
