AWS Elastic Beanstalk doesn't find .platform/hooks/postdeploy directory - amazon-web-services

I am deploying a spring boot war to a single instance AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment and trying to run a postdeploy script.
I have successfully had .ebextension scripts executed and attempted to follow the same pattern for the .platform/hooks/postdeploy directory but unfortunately EB isn't able to find the directory.
I get the following in the eb-engine.log:
[INFO] Executing platform hooks in .platform/hooks/postdeploy/
[INFO] The dir .platform/hooks/postdeploy/ does not exist
[INFO] Finished running scripts in /var/app/current/.platform/hooks/postdeploy
[INFO] Executing cleanup logic
I have verified the directory and script are placed inside the WAR file under /WEB-INF/classes:
Directory structure under .platform is .platform/hooks/postdeploy/myscript.sh
The EB environment is an Amazon Linux 2.
Any ideas why EB can't find the .platform/hooks/postdeploy directory? When I cd in /var/app I see a jar file and a Procfile.

In my case, I spent one entire week wondering why my configs are not correctly detected..
As mentioned here the .platform correct path is {project_root_directory}/.platform/ and thought I was doing everything fine.
But it need to look like this into your archive ! The root of the zip must have the .platform into
In my case it was : foobar.zip/{project_root_directory}/.platform/
But it must be :foobar.zip/.platform/

eb-cli define docker-compose file when uploading complete source code to elastic beanstalk

is there a way to define a docker-compose file with a different name than docker-compose.yml when deploying a docker application (with full source code) to elastic beanstalk with eb-cli?
Details:
We are currently deploying the test stage of an application to elastic beanstalk by using the eb-cli. This is working without any problem as long as we provide a docker-compose.yml. In that case elastic beanstalk gets the complete source code and builds the images during the deployment. However, since the CI/CD Pipeline of our production stage is also using the docker-compose.yml, we need to rename the file to docker-compose.test.yml. Is there a way to upload the complete source code AND define a docker-compose file when using the eb-cli?
If you are on Amazon Linux 2, you can use the prebuild hook to rename your docker compose file:
# .platform/hooks/prebuild/docker_compose_cp.sh
#!/bin/bash
cp docker-compose.test.yml docker-compose.yml
You should see output in the eb-engine.log during deployment indicating that the script has run:
[INFO] Executing platform hooks in .platform/hooks/prebuild/
[INFO] Following scripts will be executed in order: [docker_compose_cp.sh]

Elastic BeanStalk post deploy hook not executed

I'm facing a similar issue to this question while trying to implement the new hooks logic on a AWS Linux 2 managed platform running Docker.
I have created my file inside this .platform/hooks/postdeploy/configure_nginx.sh
which is living in the src/ folder of my app.
I can see the file in my host after the deploy but it's never executed /var/app/current/src/.platform/hooks/postdeploy/configure_nginx.sh
It has the right privileges and I can run it if I ssh into my instance.
The EBS environment is initialized through a docker-compose file where I start 2 public containers and my custom app (in which I have put the hook folders)
The script is not being executed so I'm a bit lost on where I need to put it. FYI, my eb deploy is simply copying a Dockerrun file which is grabbing an image from one of my ECR so basically nothing is done in there.
Thanks for your help!
[SOLUTION]
I've found how it should work.
You have to create the .platform folder at the same level as the .ebextensions one.
In my case I'm deploying a zip archive simply containing my Dockerrun.aws.json and both .ebextensions and .platform folders.
So remember to zip it with the whole package before deploying it to your EBS environment.

Elastic BeanStalk app deploy post hook not executing my command

I recently was able to get my Laravel app deployed using codepipeline on Elastic Beanstalk but ran into a problem. I noticed that my routes where failing because of php.conf Nginx configuration. I had to add a few lines of code to EB's nginx php.conf file to get it to work.
My problem now was that after every deployment, the instance of the application I modified the php.conf file was destroyed and recreated fresh. I wanted a way to dynamically update the file after every successful deployment. I had a version of the file I wanted versioned with my application and so wanted to create a symlink to that file after deployment.
After loads of research, I stumbled on appDeploy Hooks on Elastic Beanstalk that runs post scripts after deployment so did this
files:
"/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/91_post_deploy_script.sh":
mode: "000755"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo mkdir /var/testing1
sudo ln -sfn /var/www/html/php.conf.example /etc/nginx/conf.d/elasticbeanstalk/php.conf
sudo mkdir /var/testing
sudo nginx -s reload
And this for some reason does not work. The symlink is not created so my routes are still not working..
I even added some mkdir so am sure the commands in that script runs, none of those commands ran because none of those directories where created.
Please note that if I ssh into the ec2 instance and run the commands there it works. That bash script also exists in the post directory and if I manually run in on the server it works too.
Any pointers to how I could fix this would be helpful. Maybe I am doing something wrong too.
Now I have gotten my scripts to run by following this. However, the script is not running. I am getting an error
2020/06/28 08:22:13.653339 [INFO] Following platform hooks will be executed in order: [01_myconf.config]

I tried to follow this forum post here to make my file executable by adding to my container command a new command like so:
01_chmod1:
command: "chmod +x .platform/hooks/postdeploy/91_post_deploy_script.sh"
I am still running into the same issue. Permission denied
Sadly, the hooks you are describing (i.e. /opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy) are for Amazon Linux 1.
Since you are using Amazon Linux 2, as clarified in the comments, the hooks you are trying to use do not apply. Thus they are not being executed.
In Amazon Linux 2, there are new hooks as described here and they are:
prebuild – Files here run after the Elastic Beanstalk platform engine downloads and extracts the application source bundle, and before it sets up and configures the application and web server.
predeploy – Files here run after the Elastic Beanstalk platform engine sets up and configures the application and web server, and before it deploys them to their final runtime location.
postdeploy – Files here run after the Elastic Beanstalk platform engine deploys the application and proxy server.
The use of these new hooks is different than in Amazon Linux 1. Thus you have to either move back to Amazon Linux 1 or migrate your application to Amazon Linux 2.
General migration steps from Amazon Linux 1 to Amazon Linux 2 in EB are described here
Create a folder called .platform in your project root folder and create a file with name 00_myconf.config inside the .platform folder.
.platform/
00_myconf.config
Open 00_myconf.config and add the scripts
files:
"/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/91_post_deploy_script.sh":
mode: "000755"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo mkdir /var/testing1
sudo ln -sfn /var/www/html/php.conf.example /etc/nginx/conf.d/elasticbeanstalk/php.conf
sudo mkdir /var/testing
sudo nginx -s reload
Commit your changes or reupload the project. This .platform folder will be considered in each new instance creation and your application will deploy properly in all the new instances Amazon Elastic beanstalk creates.
If you access the documentation here and scroll to the section with the title "Application example with extensions" you can see an example of the folder structure of your .platform folder so it adds your custom configuration to NGINX conf on every deploy.
You can either replace the entire nginx.conf file with your file or add additional configuration files to the conf.d directory
Replace conf file with your file on app deploy:
.platform/nginx/nginx.conf
Add configuration files to nginx.conf:
.platform/nginx/conf.d/custom.conf

.war file is not deployed in the Elastic Beanstalk environment

I'm deploying .war file with .ebextensions in EB environment using Jenkins pipeline. The deployment is succeeded and all the commands are executed in at the deployment stage, but when I check the /usr/share/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT/ I only see my .war file is there as it is, without extracting.
What would be the reason for this? and any idea about how to resolve that issue ? Please find my code snippet below.
zip -r app-${BUILD_NUMBER}.zip myapp.war .ebextensions
aws s3 cp myapp.war s3://inc-eb-deployments/inc-batch/myapp.war
Try deploying it to the webapps folder, not webapps/ROOT. Then tomcat should decompress to webapps/myapp.
If you want to deploy your application in the root directory you need to name your build output ROOT.war and place it in the webapps folder.
Once the ebextesnions are setup with .war file, which is being coupled with ebextensions(.zip format). In this case, .war file should be unzipped through the .ebextension file manually. Following is the sample code snippet.
fix_path:
command: "unzip <app-name>.war 2>&1 > /var/log/my_last_deploy.log"
This solution worked on my environment.

Elastic Beanstalk Procfile for go

I'm trying to deploy my go restful server program to EC2 Linux using Elastic Beanstalk. The document says that I need to create a Procfile at the root. So I did. Here are the steps:
Build my go program myapp.go to using
$ go build -o myapp -i myapp.go
Create a Procfile with exact name at the root with
web: myapp
Zip up the Procfile and the myapp image to a myapp.zip file.
Upload to the server via Elastic Beanstalk console. But I keep getting Degraded health and warning with
WARN Process termination taking longer than 10 seconds.
Any suggestions. By the way, I tried to use the same procfile procedure on the simple application.go zip file came from the Elastic Beanstalk example library. It didn't work either.
I was finally able to get a Go application to deploy with Elastic Beanstalk using the eb client. There are a few things that EB requires:
The name of your main file should be application.go.
Make sure your app is listening on port 5000.
You'll need a Procfile in the main root with
web: bin/application
You'll need a Buildfile with
make: ./build.sh
And finally you'll need a build.sh file with
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Stops the process if something fails
set -xe
# All of the dependencies needed/fetched for your project.
# FOR EXAMPLE:
go get "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
# create the application binary that eb uses
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o bin/application -ldflags="-s -w"
Then if you run eb deploy (after creating your initial eb repository), it should work. I wrote a whole tutorial for deploying a Gin application on EB here. The section specifically on deploying with Elastic Beanstalk is here.
