Instead of bundling the app with the images you could use a gitRepo volume and have the directory directly populated: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/volumes/#gitrepo > The goal is to reset (or reload) the mount with the versionned pictures in > git, everytime a commit is done on the staging branch. > > My question is about the last point : > * how can I trigger the copy ? > * should I use a job ? > I would create a container that polls or listens to git webhooks and updates the gitRepo volume. Then it would roll the application deployment once the volume was updated. There isn't an off the shelf chunk of code that will do this for you unfortunately. You would need to string it together with some poll/webhook code and the Kubernetes client or API. Another, potentially easier, way to tackle this would be to create a container and schedule it in the same pod in your app. The container would simply have a git client inside of it and execute a bash script that does a pull on some interval: `while true; do git clone https://git.repo/photos.git photos; git pull https://git.repo/photos.git staging; sleep 10; done` Hope that helps!
