Setting up Docker, AWS EC2 and ECR

1. Create an ECR on AWS Console
   • Go to "View push commands"
   • Keep tab open will need later.
2. Create an EC2 on AWS Console
   • Keep everything the same for Free Tier
   • Download *.pem key.
   • Open BASH terminal
   • chmod 400 *.pem
3. Connect to EC2 using SSH
   • Go to instance and check SSH command by clicking on "Connect"
   • Enter CMD into BASH terminal
4. Update instance
   • sudo yum update -y
5. Install Docker
   • sudo yum install -y docker
6. Start Docker service
   • sudo service docker start
7. Add the ec2-user to the docker group
   • sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user
8. Reboot instance for above command to take effect
   • Use AWS console, "Instance State", "Reboot instance"
   • Connect to Instance again using SSH
9. Authenticate AWS CLI on local terminal
   • Download AWS CLI
   • Create an IAM User with proper permission (I just did the admin all one)
   • Go to tab "Security credentials"
   • Scroll down and click "Create access key"
   • Download access keys to CSV
   • Open ANOTHER BASH terminal
   • aws configure
   • Using the downloaded CSV enter credentials
10. Authenticate local Docker with your ECR

• See step 1 for this command
• aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <YOUR ID>.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

11. Build local docker image

• See step 1 for this command
• docker build -t appraise .

12. Tag the image

• See step 1 for this command
• docker tag appraise:latest <YOUR ID>.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/appraise:latest

13. Push to ECR

• See step 1 for this command
• docker push <YOUR ID>.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/appraise:latest

14. Authenticate EC2 with AWS CLI credentials

• Back to the BASH terminal with the Instance SHH
• aws configure
• Using the downloaded CSV enter credentials

15. Pull image from ECR

• Reload the ECR tab and click on "latest"
• Copy URI

16. Authenticate Docker in the Instance SSH

• See step 10 for command

16. Back to the terminal with the Instance SSH

• docker pull

17. Get the <IMAGE_ID>

• docker images

18. Go to your instance in the EC2 dashboard

• click on it
• go to the Security tab
• click on your security group
• click Edit inbound rules
• add a new rule
• select all traffic
• add a new rule
• port 80 with 0.0.0.0/0
• add a new rule
• port 433 with 0.0.0.0/0

19. Create Caddyfile

• vim Caddyfile
• type domain.com {reverse_proxy appraise:8000}

20. Run docker_reset.sh

• Use this script on the EC2!
• chmod +x docker_reset.sh
• ./docker_reset.sh
• The script will prompt you for the <IMAGE_ID>

21. That's it! Unless you ran into error. I can't help with that.
