The Velero installation and backups by default are run in the `velero` namespace. However, it is possible to use a different namespace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 1) Customize the namespace during install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the `--namespace` flag, in conjunction with the other flags in the `velero install` command (as shown in the [the Velero install instructions][0]). This will inform Velero where to install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2) Customize the namespace for operational commands
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To have namespace consistency, specify the namespace for all Velero operational commands to be the same as the namespace used to install Velero:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
velero client config set namespace=<NAMESPACE_VALUE>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you may use the global `--namespace` flag with any operational command to tell Velero where to run.
