<![CDATA[Help wanted: Mount EFS in EC2]]>Hi All,

I am struggling to mount my EFS successfully in my Cloudron EC2 instance.

Is anyone out there who is able to assist?

I have done so far:

  • setup cloudron instance (all working fine)
  • assign security groups to map EFS (followed all Standard documention of AWS)
  • use the same VPC and the same subnet
  • attached the EFS automatically on startup of EC2 instance

I am also willing to pay for it

Cheers,
nottheend

My only unfulfilled wish is to exclude the nextcloud data now from the cloudron backup.

You can disable the backup for the app but that is of course living dangerously 🙂

It seemed to work!!!
I was able to mount EFS via NFS in the same way I tried 100 times before. At the end I even got it mounted via the GUI of cloudron. Extremely happy.

I also configured the nextcloud app to use efs volume as a data directory via the backend.
Still need to see if everything works fine. But really happy.
If the saving of data really works on EFS it would be really great. @girish I should pay out all the money to you 😛

Will try that. Until now have always used the cloudron marketplace image

No, I only talk about cloudron. I even use the AWS cloudron image. The reason why I have put it in offtopic is that it is kind of the responsibility of the user to set it up.
But thinking about it it makes also sense to shift it to another section.

I have never tried without cloudron.

And for mounting I also tried to mount it via the UI in the dashboard, but also didn't work

I guess this means you face this issue even without Cloudron? If you haven't tried that, I would try that out first. Creating a vanilla EC2 instance and try to figure out how to mount EFS on that.
