+"""List of dictionaries composed of name, hostPath and mountPath.
+
+- ``name``: name of the mount.
+- ``hostPath``: path in the Kubernetes cluster host nodes that will be mounted into job pods.
+- ``mountPath``: path inside job pods where hostPath will get mounted.
+  This is optional, by default the same path as the hostPath will be used
+
+This configuration should be used only when one knows for sure that the
+specified locations exist in all the cluster nodes. For example, in Minikube:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    $ minikube mount $HOME/mydata:/usr/local/share/mydata
+
+And pass the following configuration:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    REANA_JOB_HOSTPATH_MOUNTS = [
+        {"name": "mydata",
+         "hostPath": "/usr/local/share/mydata",
+         "mountPath": "/mydata"},
+    ]
+
+This way all jobs will have ``/mydata`` mounted with the content of
+``/usr/local/share/mydata`` in the Minikube Kubernetes node.
