Volumes

Endpoint

Initrd (initial ramdisk) and actual volumes serve different purposes. An initrd is a file system loaded into memory during the boot process of the instance. Any new files created as well as any modifications made to files in the initrd are lost when the instance is stopped. In contrast, a volume is a persistent storage device that keeps data across restarts. In addition, it can be initialized with a set of files with one instance and then be detached and attached to a another one.

List Volumes

GET
https://api.fra.unikraft.cloud
/v1/volumes

Return the current status and the configuration of one or more volumes specified by either UUID(s) or name(s). If no identifier is provided, all volumes are returned.

List Volumes › query Parameters

  • detailsboolean

    Whether to include details about the volume in the response. By default this is set to true, meaning that all information about the volume will be included in the response. If set to false, only the basic information about the volume will be included, such as its name and UUID.

List Volumes › Request Body

  • uuidstring · uuid · required

    Mutually exclusive with name.

    Example: 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000

Create Volume

POST
https://api.fra.unikraft.cloud
/v1/volumes

Create a volume given the specified configuration parameters. The volume is automatically initialized with an empty file system. After initialization, the volume is in the available state and can be attached to an instance with the PUT /v1/volumes/attach endpoint. Note that, the size of a volume cannot be changed after creation.

Create Volume › Request Body

  • namestring

    The name of the volume.

    This is a human-readable name that can be used to identify the volume. The name must be unique within the context of your account. If no name is specified, a random name of the form vol-X is generated for you, where X is a 5 character long random alphanumeric suffix.. The name can also be used to identify the volume in API calls.

    Example: funky-vol-t7qumh5j
