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 > **[Rancher Convoy adds Amazon EBS support with 0.3 release | Rancher Labs](http://rancher.com/rancher-convoy-adds-amazon-ebs-support-with-0-3-release/)** > > We just released Convoy v0.3 last week, and I’m excited to announce... Read more 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 ERRO[0017] Post http://%!F(MISSING)var%!F(MISSING)run%!F(MISSING)convoy%!F(MISSING)convoy.sock/v1/volumes/create: EOF { “Error”: “Post http://%!F(MISSING)var%!F(MISSING)run%!F(MISSING)convoy%!F(MISSING)convoy.sock/v1/volumes/create: EOF” } Also got the following error logs time=“2016-09-27T20:43:38Z” level=debug msg=“Calling: POST, /volumes/create, request: POST, /v1/volumes/create” pkg=daemon time=“2016-09-27T20:43:38Z” level=debug msg= event=create object=volume opts=map[BackupURL: VolumeName:convoy-vol03 VolumeDriverID: VolumeType: VolumeIOPS:0 PrepareForVM:false Size:0] pkg=daemon reason=prepare volume=convoy-vol03 time=“2016-09-27T20:43:44Z” level=debug msg=“Adding tags for vol-23d7e58f, as map[Name:convoy-vol03]” pkg=ebs time=“2016-09-27T20:43:44Z” level=debug msg=“Created volume convoy-vol03 from EBS volume vol-23d7e58f” pkg=ebs time=“2016-09-27T20:43:44Z” level=debug msg=“Attaching vol-23d7e58f to i-80bc5096’s /dev/sdf” pkg=ebs time=“2016-09-27T20:43:50Z” level=debug msg=“Attached EBS volume vol-23d7e58f to /dev/xvdf” pkg=ebs time=“2016-09-27T20:43:51Z” level=debug msg=“Created volume” event=create object=volume pkg=daemon reason=complete volume=convoy-vol03 2016/09/27 20:43:56 http: panic serving @: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference goroutine 23 [running]: net/http.(\*conn).serve.func1(0xc820197000) /usr/local/go/src/net/http/server.go:1389 +0xc1 panic(0xb3fcc0, 0xc820010130) /usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:443 +0x4e9 [github.com/rancher/convoy/ebs.(\*Driver](http://github.com/rancher/convoy/ebs.(*Driver)).GetVolumeInfo(0xc82005b270, 0xc8201a9a50, 0xc, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0) /go/src/github.com/rancher/convoy/ebs/ebs.go:501 +0x898 [github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.(\*daemon](http://github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.(*daemon)).getVolumeDriverInfo(0xc820078500, 0xc820456d80, 0xc820456d80, 0x0, 0x0) /go/src/github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon/volume.go:303 +0xbb [github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.(\*daemon](http://github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.(*daemon)).doVolumeCreate(0xc820078500, 0xc55960, 0x1, 0x7f7594b844b0, 0xc82013f450, 0xc8201bc1c0, 0xc820195a10, 0x0, 0x0) /go/src/github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon/volume.go:157 +0x133 [github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.(\*daemon](http://github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.(*daemon)).([github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.doVolumeCreate](http://github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.doVolumeCreate))-fm(0xc55960, 0x1, 0x7f7594b844b0, 0xc82013f450, 0xc8201bc1c0, 0xc820195a10, 0x0, 0x0) /go/src/github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon/daemon.go:76 +0x74 [github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.makeHandlerFunc.func1](http://github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon.makeHandlerFunc.func1)(0x7f7594b844b0, 0xc82013f450, 0xc8201bc1c0) /go/src/github.com/rancher/convoy/daemon/daemon.go:142 +0x29d net/http.HandlerFunc.ServeHTTP(0xc82015f8c0, 0x7f7594b844b0, 0xc82013f450, 0xc8201bc1c0) /usr/local/go/src/net/http/server.go:1618 +0x3a [github.com/rancher/convoy/vendor/github.com/gorilla/mux.(\*Router](http://github.com/rancher/convoy/vendor/github.com/gorilla/mux.(*Router)).ServeHTTP(0xc82005b2c0, 0x7f7594b844b0, 0xc82013f450, 0xc8201bc1c0) /go/src/github.com/rancher/convoy/vendor/github.com/gorilla/mux/mux.go:98 +0x29e net/http.serverHandler.ServeHTTP(0xc820196e80, 0x7f7594b844b0, 0xc82013f450, 0xc8201bc1c0) /usr/local/go/src/net/http/server.go:2081 +0x19e net/http.(\*conn).serve(0xc820197000) /usr/local/go/src/net/http/server.go:1472 +0xf2e created by net/http.(\*Server).Serve /usr/local/go/src/net/http/server.go:2137 +0x44e ---

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 ---

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