ECS 'Unknown volume' error

Adam Risser

Hello,

I am trying to get our app to deploy to ECS thru pipelines, but do not understand how to take care of the following error

 

+ python ecs_deploy.py task_definition.json $DOCKER_IMAGE:$TAG 1 0 200 Failed to update the stack. An error occurred (ClientException) when calling the RegisterTaskDefinition operation: Unknown volume 'etc'.

 

Here is what I have in my container definition for mount points

 

"mountPoints": [{
  "containerPath": "/home/app/etc",
  "sourceVolume": "etc",
  "readOnly": false
}],

I am following this example

https://bitbucket.org/awslabs/amazon-ecs-bitbucket-pipelines-python/src/a7f2ec188250?at=master

How do I make it aware of the volume?

looks like your task definition contains a mountPoint but no volumes (to be mounted); see the example at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ecs/register-task-definition.html
