Nomad job data persistence

Nomad
1

So we have noticed that once a nomad job completes the data directory vanishes after some time . Is there a way for a particular job(not all) to be persistent for say a week or 2 days or a specified time ? Is this configurable in the job definition and if anyone has used this with success ?

Host volumes. You can define a host volume in your Nomad client configuration:

client {
  host_volume "persistent-data" {
    path = "/opt/nomad/data"
    read_only = false
  }
}

And after that in your nomad job file:

      volume_mount {
        volume      = "persistent-data"
        destination = "/path/in/container"
      }
