Sample app to showcase persistence in CF

Pre-requistes:

• A Cloud Foundry environment
• Deploy the nfs-volume release

Getting started

Once you have the environment ready, you should be able to run cf marketplace

You should be able to see the nfs service available there.

service                       plans                                      description
nfs                           Existing                                   NFS volumes secured with Kerberos (see: https://example.com/knfs-volume-release/)

• Create the NFS service

  `$ cf create-service nfs Existing myVolume -c '{"share":"10.193.51.150/export/vol1"}'`
  

  You could also possibly use other folders in the nfs test server such as /export/vol2 or /export/vol3. You can also verify the files by bosh ssh into the nfs test server.

• Deploy the app cf push kitty --no-start

• Set the environment variable cf set-env kitty CF_SERVICE nfs

• Bind the service

  `cf bind-service kitty myVolume -c '{"uid":"1000","gid":"1000"}'`
  

• Start the app

  `cf start kitty`
  

This basic app will persist everything in a test.txt file.
