Where to mount EFS on ECS wordpress?

root@e532hrwha:/# ls
bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  lib64  media  mnt  opt  proc  root  run  sbin  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var

I am running wordpress,

This is my docker container file structure, I want to mount EFS on it for persistent file storage so that even when my ec2 instance crashes or terminates i am able to retain my data

Where should i mount my EFS file system ?

I have tried

1) Mounting it on /mnt which gives me error saying you dont have permission to access this resource(I have given all possible access

2) mounting it on var/www/html

However neither of them seem to work as my wordpress uses old data even though the file system is correctly mounted when i try to ssh into it and see it

Solution

  • I guess you're using the official WordPress docker image, what you need to persists is your wp-content folder... so you should mount your EFS volume at /var/www/html/wp-content
