How to upload the images folder directly to an OpenShift 3 server?

Question

I want to upload my images folder directly to my OpenShift server rather than keeping the images in my source code file.

I also have few jars which are related to the company. How do I install those to OpenShift 3 server's m2 Maven repository?

4)I am accessing my images with URL 
http://openshiftLink.com/imgs/images-static/necklaces/                                                                                  /   1497330344375.jpg 
is this the right way to access persistence volumes   

Answer 1

If you have a persistent volume attached to your container which application uses, you can use oc rsync to copy files such as images to the persistent volume.

Another option is to use a binary input build rather than pulling source code from a Git repository. That way it is easier to push up with a build files which are not part of a Git repository. This could be images or could also be pre-compiled binary artifacts.

Details on binary input builds can be found at:
