Carlos Sanchez's Weblog 
Hi, is there a way to use podTemplate in declarative pipelines?
This is what is supported so far https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-plugin/blob/master/examples/declarative.groovy
Hi Carlos. I’m using the plugin with Openshift and everything is ok but i am wondering how to specify in the podTemplate creation a custom maven settings.xml file. I saw an option using a secretVolume but i am not sure about this. I suppose i have to create in my Openshift a persistent volume with the settings file in it.
Thank you!
you can do it either in the kubernetes side creating a secret and then using volumes to mount it, or you can manage it from Jenkins with the Config File Provider Plugin
Thank you very much!! I will try the jenkins way.
