title: Minikube volumes
body: <p>Minikube is supposed to make it simple to run Kubernetes locally,  not only for "getting started" but also for "day-to-day development workflows".</p>

  <p>But I can also read that : "PersistentVolumes are mapped to a directory inside the minikube VM. The Minikube VM boots into a tmpfs, so most directories will not be persisted across reboots (minikube stop)"</p>

  <p>So what if my developments need persistent storage (MySQL database, mongodb database, ...) ? Do I need to throw my Minikube and install directly the full Kubernetes ?</p>
