Get files from a pvc

[GrimmReaperNL]

Hi everybody.

In my ignorance I originally installed a couple of apps using pvc storage. I've since moved most to use hostpaths, but not all.
Qbittorrent and Tautulli save their backup files to a location in their storage instead of allowing the user to download them.
How can I get these files from the pvc?

Hope someone can help. Thank you.

Heavy Script lets you mount PVC to a temporal Location so you can get to it via console or smb

What's "PVC storage" and whose brilliant idea was it to name it so, leading to endless confusion with polyvinyl chloride?

PVC= Persistant Volume Claim

A PersistentVolume (PV) is a piece of storage in the cluster that has been provisioned by an administrator or dynamically provisioned using Storage Classes. It is a resource in the cluster just like a node is a cluster resource. PVs are volume plugins like Volumes, but have a lifecycle independent of any individual Pod that uses the PV. This API object captures the details of the implementation of the storage, be that NFS, iSCSI, or a cloud-provider-specific storage system.

A PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user. It is similar to a Pod. Pods consume node resources and PVCs consume PV resources. Pods can request specific levels of resources (CPU and Memory). Claims can request specific size and access modes (e.g., they can be mounted ReadWriteOnce, ReadOnlyMany or ReadWriteMany, see AccessModes).

Cool, I'll try that. Thanks
