You have a few issues.

1) 'web' doesn't appear to be an 'image', you define it as 'build . ' in your docker-compose.. Remember, the Dockerrun.aws.json will have to pull the image from somewhere (easiest is to use ECS's Repositories)

2) I think 'command' is an array. So you'd have:

"command": ["python" "manage.py" "runserver" "0.0.0.0:8000"]

3) your mountPoints are correct, but the volume definition at the top is wrong. { "name": "web", "host": { "sourcePath": "/var/app/current/db" } Im not 100% certain, but the path works for me. if you have the Dockerrun.aws.json file, next to is a directory called /db .. then that will be the mount location.
