If you follow the steps documented in Add volume storage · Fly Docs, then it should work.

In summary, execute these steps in this exact order:

  1. Launch app without deploying: fly launch
  2. Add mounts entry to fly.toml;
        [mounts]
        source="memos_data"
        destination="/var/opt/memos"
  3. Deploy app: fly deploy

A volume with the name you specified, will be created and attached to your app.

I still didn’t understand why trying to attach the volume after the app is deployed do not work. This is what @kentcdodds does here: Persist Application Data Between Deployments | Epic Web Dev by Kent C. Dodds and it worked for him.

I found another related post here that might help if you want to attach a volume to a running app. I did not dig into that, nor tried to reproduce, but here it is:

Cheers!
