Asked by MassiveGrayStarfish
Hi, I have followed the instructions here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-attach-digitalocean-block-storage-to-docker-container to attach a volume to a container in docker swarm.
docker plugin ls
ID NAME DESCRIPTION ENABLED
a8a1bd9be729 rexray/dobs:latest REX-Ray for Digital Ocean Block Storage true
docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
rexray/dobs:latest grafana
rexray/dobs:latest volume-dbs
rexray/dobs:latest volume-fra1-01
I attach the volume to the container:
volumes:
- grafana:/etc/grafana
- grafana:/var/lib/grafana
- grafana:/var/log/grafana
I get the following error:

Hi there,
Keep in mind that the DigitalOcean Block storage volumes can only be attached to a single Droplet, and if you are deploying multiple Droplets with Docker Swarm, the tutorial that you’ve shared will not work.
Can you confirm if this is the case?
Another thing to keep in mind is that your Block Storage needs to be in the same region as the Droplet that you are attaching the volume to.
I’ve just tested this on a single Droplet and it still seems to be working as expected, but one thing to keep in mind is that the project does not seem to be actively maintained any more unfortunately.
Best,
Bobby
