Setting path.repo for kubernetes pods

[fbede4]

I understand you have to set the path.repo in elasticsearch.yml to create a backup like this:
path.repo: /mnt/backup

But I have elasticsearch running on Kubernetes, and I would like to set the path.repo from a statefulset or something similar to all pods at the same time.
Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Thanks

I tried to do this with configmap like this:

Modify elastic.yml file in kubernetes pod

Hello! I have an elasticsearch cluster running on minikube. When I ssh into one of the elasticsearch pods, I can see that the elasticsearch.yml file is very empty/has almost no configs set. [elasticsearch@es-0 config]$ cat elasticsearch.yml cluster.name: "docker-cluster" network.host: 0.0.0.0 # minimum_master_nodes need to be explicitly set when bound on a public IP # set to 1 to allow single node clusters # Details: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/17288 discovery.zen.minimum_ma…

but when I restarted the pod it threw an error:
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/run.sh: line 28: ./config/elasticsearch.yml: Read-only file system

I just realized, that you don't even have to edit elasticsearch.yml to set the path.repo setting, you can add it as an enviromental variable in your statefulset like this:
env:

• name: path.repo
  value: "/mnt/backup"
