Getting data in/out of a community cloud pod
For Secure Cloud pods, you're able to dump to a Network Volume, and either manually download that or sync it out to a cloud provider
For community pods which don't have network volumes, what's the alternative solution? Is there any way to pipe it's content's directly to a cloud service?
Similarly, is there a way to have a community pod pull contents from a cloud service?

No, it will cost much if you use another cloud service but its up to you
Browse around for methods like this, but for community cloud I think people mostly use them with the persistent volume only
For reference, this the empty volume you initialize a pod with?
Yes
I've just realized (I'm poking around pods) that you can still use the Cloud Sync feature with community cloud pods; I had thought they were tied to Network Volume and therefor only a feature for Secure cloud
I don't have a significant amount of volume to move, my case is just syncing a .db file back and forth. I'll have to see if this is possible on startup/shutdown automatically from within a pod using runpodctl or something
ohh, thats achievable
you can make your own cloud sync client in like python code if you want to sync a small amount or selected files only on shutdown/startup automatically, i have no idea if cloudsync is available via apis or runpodctl
I hadnt thought of going straight from container <-> cloud provider, but on reflection I'm sure theres some python lib for pulling/pushing to a google drive, dropbox, etc that'd suffice to keep a .db up to date, probably easiest solution
Solution
Yeah sure, i think there is try to browse around
