Filesystem based cache
dkarlovi opened this issue · comments
Nginx provides a filesystem+memory hybrid cache which is useful for serving largeish static files.
This would be a nice addition here because it fits nicely with Kubernetes emptyDir type volume which allows a pod to get a temporary writable filesystem mount which is alive as long as the pod is alive. It would mean it could locally store and serve large-ish files without polluting memory and the distributed store (like Redis) with it, and the cache not persisting a reboot is not a big deal.
Hello, you could use the nuts storage provider that supports the filesystem stored data IMHO.
@darkweak ah interesting, would you mind creating a minimal example of that, maybe we could add it to the docs? I'd imagine it would be a common pattern for this specific use case. I did go through their docs about it, but seem to have missed it.
I can see it's already documented such as
nuts {
path /tmp
}
I've checked why it doesn't work for me and it's actually because of #345 which is unrelated, closing here.
