Im migrating my homelab from Docker Compose + Ansible to k3s with Flux and I keep running into one thing I cant figure out properly.

With Docker Compose mounting a config folder is just one line:

volumes:

• ./grafana/provisioning:/etc/grafana/provisioning

And that provisioning folder has a whole structure with subdirectories:

provisioning/ ├── dashboards/ │ ├── dashboard-provider.yml │ ├── node-exporter.json │ ├── cluster-overview.json │ └── ... (20+ files) ├── datasources/ │ └── prometheus.yml ├── alerting/ │ ├── slack.yml │ └── rules.yml

With Ansible all of this was in git as templates, got deployed to the host, container mounts the directory. Everything was IaC and it felt clean.

Now in Kubernetes I see a few options but non of them feel right:

1. ConfigMap: works for a couple files but stuffing 25 dashboard jsons into a ConfigMap? And you cant really do subdirectories either
2. PVC: data survives but its basically a black box somewhere on the node filesystem. Thats not IaC

Whats the actual approach people use? Is "just use ConfigMaps and deal with it" really the answer or am I missing somthing?

I like to see the game with Bosnia commentators. Which TV station is showing this? Google is not helping me.
