Hi kevin,
You can create a persistent volume and mount the file in the pod.
I can show you an example of how it's done...

If that's not a very high priority task, I can contribute to that part too

But right now my college placements are going on. Final round of placements
is
a hackathon which is this weekend. So I will be able to start with this on
monday.

If its needed ASAP,

Here's the example:
https://github.com/ADI10HERO/PAG_K8S/blob/master/yamls/prometheus-deployment.yaml#L48

And that directory that is  mentioned there is here:
https://github.com/ADI10HERO/PAG_K8S/tree/master/prometheus

So the setup was like:
On a centos VM, repository was cloned on in the /root/

PS: You can use relative paths too....

If an even detailed explanation was expected, please let me know,
I'd be more than happy to write :D

Thanks and regards,
Aditya Srivastava
