How to: Customizing the Shell Pod
You can also customize the shell pod by adding a `hostPathVolume` to your shell pod. This allows you to mount a local directory or file into the shell pod. For example, if you want to mount the Docker socket into the shell pod, you can do so as follows:
```yaml
k9s:
  shellPod:
    hostPathVolume:
    - name: docker-socket
      # Mount the Docker socket into the shell pod
      mountPath: /var/run/docker.sock
      # The path on the host to mount
      hostPath: /var/run/docker.sock
      readOnly: true
```
This will mount the Docker socket into the shell pod at `/var/run/docker.sock` and make it read-only. You can also mount any other directory or file in a similar way.
