How can I delete an existing Docker Volume (Data Volume) in Amazon Elastic Container Service - ECS?

Question

I currently have an Nginx Docker image in Amazon ECS. I need to re-issue the SSL certificates via certbot, and I need to delete the old ones. How can I delete the volume? I'm currently going to use new volumes instead of the old ones (appending a "v2" suffix).

Here's part of my task definition (As stated above, I had to rebrand them as v2):

"mountPoints": [
                {
                    "sourceVolume": "nginx-certbot-v2",
                    "containerPath": "/etc/letsencrypt",
                    "readOnly": false
                },
                {
                    "sourceVolume": "nginx-acme-webroot-v2",
                    "containerPath": "/var/acme-webroot",
                    "readOnly": false
                },
                {
                    "sourceVolume": "nginx-dhparam-v2",
                    "containerPath": "/etc/nginx/dhparam",
                    "readOnly": false
                }
            ],

Here's the volume definition:

"volumes": [
      {
          "name": "nginx-certbot-v2",
          "dockerVolumeConfiguration": {
              "scope": "shared",
              "autoprovision": true,
              "driver": "local"
          }
      },
      {
          "name": "nginx-acme-webroot-v2",
          "dockerVolumeConfiguration": {
              "scope": "shared",
              "autoprovision": true,
              "driver": "local"
          }
      },
      {
          "name": "nginx-dhparam-v2",
          "dockerVolumeConfiguration": {
              "scope": "shared",
              "autoprovision": true,
              "driver": "local"
          }
      }
  ]

Are there any possibilities for me to get back the volumes without the "v2"?

Answer 1

Define the scope of your docker volume as task instead of shared it will be removed automatically after the task is stopped.

"volumes": [
{
    "name": "scratch",
    "dockerVolumeConfiguration" : {
        "scope": "task",
        "autoprovision": true,
        "driver": "local",
        "labels": {
            "scratch": "space"
        }
    }
}

]
