Couldn't mount volume, what did I do wrong ?

Questions / Help
1

Hi guys, totally new here. I’m trying to create a blog-like API using Phoenix. But the thing is when I try to mount a volume to store the file uploads, I couldn’t do it although I have followed the tutorial in the docs.

Here are the steps that I have done:

  • Creating the app
  • Create the postgres and attach it to the app
  • Deploy the app, it works with the db
  • Create the volume
  • Add the mounts section in fly.toml, try to deploy again
  • App running the release script, it says setting up volume ‘volume_name’
  • Error: release command failed, deployment aborted

And of course, it only fails when I add the volume. I remove the mounts section then it works just fine.

For the context, I’ll paste the Dockerfile and the fly.toml here. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

### Fist Stage - Building the Release

###

FROM hexpm/elixir:1.12.1-erlang-24.0.1-alpine-3.13.3 AS build

# install build dependencies

RUN apk add --no-cache build-base

# prepare build dir

WORKDIR /app

# extend hex timeout

ENV HEX_HTTP_TIMEOUT=20

# install hex + rebar

RUN mix local.hex --force && \

mix local.rebar --force

# set build ENV as prod

ENV MIX_ENV=prod

ENV SECRET_KEY_BASE=nokey

# Copy over the mix.exs and mix.lock files to load the dependencies. If those

# files don't change, then we don't keep re-fetching and rebuilding the deps.

COPY mix.exs mix.lock ./

COPY config config

RUN mix deps.get --only prod && \

mix deps.compile

# install npm dependencies

# COPY assets/package.json assets/package-lock.json ./assets/

# RUN npm --prefix ./assets ci --progress=false --no-audit --loglevel=error

COPY priv priv

COPY assets assets

# NOTE: If using TailwindCSS, it uses a special "purge" step and that requires

# the code in `lib` to see what is being used. Uncomment that here before

# running the npm deploy script if that's the case.

# COPY lib lib

# build assets

# RUN npm run --prefix ./assets deploy

RUN mix phx.digest

# copy source here if not using TailwindCSS

COPY lib lib

# compile and build release

COPY rel rel

RUN mix do compile, release
