Convoy-EBS with Rancher

Hi,

I am new to docker/Rancher. I am trying to explore how EBS volume can be attached to containers created in Rancher. I went through the below link

This discuss about installing convoy in EC2 instance, creating an EBS volume and attaching the volume docker container. Can you pls clarify the following

  1. Can I attach EBS volume to containers created in Rancher ? If so, do I need to install the convoy daemon in every single host or do I need to do the convoy setup in the Rancher Master Server ?

  2. Do we have a Convoy-EBS catalog something similar to Convoy-EFS ?

Thanks,
Ganesan

In continuation of the above, I tried installing convoy on an EC2 instance. While creating a volume, it is throwing up the following error but the volume seems to be created and also got attached to the instance. Pls update if this is an issue or am I missing something here ?

I initially tried with Docker 1.10 version (default option in Rancher while launching AWS instance) and also with the ‘latest’ option (docker version). The following error are with the latest docker version

root@Convoy-EBS-VM2-LatestDocker:~# docker --version
Docker version 1.12.1, build 23cf638
root@Convoy-EBS-VM2-LatestDocker:~#

root@Convoy-EBS-VM2-LatestDocker:~# convoy create convoy-vol03

}

Also got the following error logs

Not much help to offer, but I’m getting the exact same error when trying to create EBS volume, convoy 0.5.0 and docker 1.12.2

4

it appears that you don’t have the convoy daemon started or a permission issue.

service convoy start
convoy list

5

convoy daemon is running and the command was run as root user. Still getting the same error.
