how to fix deployment of django app using elastic beanstalk - django

Question

I am trying to use elastic beanstalk to deploy my little django app.
the app runs locally fine
and it appears that my EB stack is created fine, what's happening is that from the logs (eb-engine.log) it fails to run the container commands in the django.config file, which is:
option_settings:
aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment:
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: "personal_portfolio.settings"
PYTHONPATH: "/var/app/current:$PYTHONPATH"
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME: "xxxx-personal-portfolio"
AWS_S3_REGION_NAME: "us-east-1"
RDS_USERNAME: "xxx"
RDS_PASSWORD: "password"
RDS_PORT: 5432
aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:
WSGIPath: "personal_portfolio.wsgi:application"
aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:process:default:
HealthCheckPath: "/about"
MatcherHTTPCode: "200-499"
container_commands:
01_makemigrations:
command: "source /var/app/venv/*/bin/activate && python3 manage.py makemigrations --noinput"
leader_only: true
02_migrate:
command: "source /var/app/venv/*/bin/activate && python3 manage.py migrate --noinput"
leader_only: true
03_createsu:
command: "source /var/app/venv/*/bin/activate && python3 manage.py createsu"
04_collectstatic:
command: "source /var/app/venv/*/bin/activate && python3 manage.py collectstatic --noinput"
leader_only: true
the logs don't say why?
I am deploying using this script:
#!/bin/bash
python create_s3bucket.py
eb init
eb create portfolio1 -db.engine postgres --database.version 12 --database.username xxx --database.password "1234"
is there a way to understand what is wrong?
I have to say I deployed the same thing quicker writing Terraform.
This is the error in the cf-init logs
