## Properties

- `hostPath`: string (required) — The path of the file or directory on the host to mount into containers on the pod.

  *Note*: HothPath Volumes present many security risks, and should be avoided when possible.

- `mountPath`: string — The path on the container where the volume is mounted.

  **Default:** the volume is not mounted

- `name`: string (required) — The name of this volume.

  The name must be a valid DNS subdomain name.

- `readonly`: boolean = false — If specified, the container has readonly access to the volume.

  Otherwise, the container has read/write access.
