How to mount EFS inside a docker container?

Question

I am trying to mount EFS inside a docker container running on EC2 server. EFS mount in EC2 is working fine with,

sudo mount -t nfs4 -o nfsvers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2,noresvport <efs-address>:/ efs

But when tried in docker container, it is giving error 'mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted'. Please let me know how to achieve this.

You can create a docker volume using EFS:

docker volume create \
    --driver local \
    --opt type=nfs \
    --opt o=addr=10.0.0.50,rw,nfsvers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2 \
    --opt device=:/ efs 

Then mount the volume docker run --rm -it -v efs:/mnt ubuntu:18.04.
