I have installed gitlab on a gcp debian vm instance. Now I have a domain name lets say xyz.com that is hosted on a different shared hosting platform which has my personal website. Now I want to add gitlab.xyz.com to my gcp instance. I followed the tutorial by gitlab and edited
/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
But it doesn't seem to work. I am new to this so, if anyone could outline the steps I need to perform then it would be really helpful.
To solve your issue you should reserve a static external IP address for your VM instance and configure DNS record for your subdomain.

I'm facing an issue with my ec2 instance. Until now, I had an ec2 instance working with an IP like this: ec2-xx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com.
Now I configured an elastic IP to make that instead of use the default domain uses one of my own.
Something goes wrong because now a receive a 403 if I make a request pointing to my new domain.
I'm check that I'm still able to connect to my Ubuntu server 20.04 LTS through SSH. Only have to change the host name to my new domain.(I'm using PuTTy)
Searching on internet if found that the problem can be that my machine still have the old domain in some config files. I don't have experience with Ubuntu servers. I try to find the http.conf file or the apache2 directory in etc., but no one is present.....
I don't know what to do next.
I have to change some configuration file? In that case, which one?
I leave you some images from my machine:
Root
etc folder
For further information, the security group of my ec2 instance have these rules:
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
-EDIT
I'm trying to access the server, making a request, with Postman like this.
And that is the error:
For more information. I implemented my ec2 using this video:ec2 video
And I changed the domain with that video:link ec2 with namecheap domain
I'm afraid it is a propagation issue, that takes more time than the 48 hours, because now it starts to works without changing absolutely nothing. Sorry
It appears that your requirement is to point bochogame.com to an Elastic IP address.
You can do this by using a DNS Service, such as Amazon Route 53. You would create a A-Record record that points that domain name to the IP address.
If you are unfamiliar with these concepts, I recommend watching some YouTube videos such as DNS with AWS Route 53 - YouTube.
So I’ve just finished working on my first big personal project, bought a domain name, created an AWS account, watched a lot of AWS tutorials, but I still can’t figure out how to host my web app on AWS. The whole AWS thing is a mystery to me. No tutorial online seems to teach exactly what I need.
What I’m trying to do is this:
Host my dynamic web app on a secure https connection.
Host the web app using the personalized domain name I purchased.
Link my git repo to AWS so I can easily commit and push changes when needed.
Please assist me by pointing me to a resource that can help me achieve the above 3 tasks.
For now, the web app is still hosted on Heroku’s free service; feel free to take a look at the application, and provide some feedback if you can.
Link to web app:my web app
You mentioned - The web app is still hosted on Heroku’s free service
So, if you want the same thing in AWS, use Elastic Beanstalk.
First Question: How to host my web app on AWS?
There can be multiple options to host your web app:-
S3 Bucket to host your website. How to Host in S3
Elastic Beanstalk. Link
ECS - using containers
Single EC2 Server to host your website.
EKS - Kubernetes
By the way, there are many couples of things which you need to take care of before starting.
Second Question, Host the web app using the personalized domain name I purchased.
If you have used S3, the hosted URL will be in HTTP and you can create a route entry in your purchased domain settings. If it is AWS, create a new record in Route53.
If you host your website on EC2, you will get Public IP Address. Make a route entry with that Public IP.
If you have used ECS or EKS, you might require to use the Load Balancer and then you will have the Load Balancer DNS. Make a route entry with your Load Balancer DNS. Then again question will arise which kind of Load Balancer you want to use. [Like Application, Classic or Network Load Balancer]
If you use Elastic Beanstalk. It's a managed service, when you host you will directly get an endpoint. Make a route entry with that endpoint.
Third, Link my git repo to AWS so I can easily commit and push changes when needed.
For this, you have to use Code Build and connect Github as a Source while creating Code Build Project. Link
For CI-CD, there are multiple things again.
As Heroku’s is a PaaS, which provides you the platform and but when it comes to AWS, it is an IaaS. So you get the infrastructure and when you get the provisioned infrastructure, there are so many things which you need to take care of like you have to think like an Architect. Prepare the architecture and then proceed. It requires knowledge of other things also networking, security etc.
To answer your question, the best way to host a web app in AWS is Elastic Beanstalk
But what is AWS Elastic Beanstalk and what does it do?
AWS Elastic Beanstalk encompasses processes and operations connected with the deployment of web apps into the cloud environment, as well as their scaling.
Elastic Beanstalk automates the deployment by putting forward the required capacity, balancing the load, autoscaling, and monitoring software efficiency and performance. All that is left for a developer to do is to apply the code. In these conditions, the application owner has overall control over the capacity that AWS provides for the software and can access it at any time.
So this is the best way to deploy the app and let’s follow the steps.
Open the Elastic Beanstalk console and find the management page of your environment.
Select “Upload and Deploy”.
Select “Choose File” and choose the source bundle with the dialog box.
Deploy and select the URL to open the new website.
You can use CodeDeploy to connect your Github and deploy your code
Conclusion
I have taken a simplistic approach and told you exactly what you need to do the required task without going into the hus and fuss of AWS. Saying that there is still a lot that can be done to bring the real value of your application in terms of balancing the load, scaling or improving the performance.
I am trying to see the website running with Gatsby on AWS EC2 Ubuntu Server.
Locally website is successfully running with gatsby develop
I currently have no domain name purchased such that just want to check if the site can be accessible externally.
without using surge command, just want to check the website externally.
Security groups on AWS EC2 is appropriately configures (Inbound's HTTP/HTTPS are allowed)
In rails I recollect with passing additional parameters it can be accessed externally,
how it works on gatsby? any ideas?
Ah sorry guys the issue solved.
I used surge with surge public but when i put in the arbiterary domain name it did not work.
when I left the temporarily domain name provided by surge and also, after I verified my email address, it works fine.
It's the first time I will be publishing a website and have no idea on how this works.
Here's a few details on what I'm trying to achieve.
I have created a sample website in nodejs and uploaded it to docker (two containers, one for nodejs and the other one for mongodb database)
Now I would like to upload this on aws but not really sure where to start and what I need to know.
In addition, I want a domain, the price is quite high for the .com domain I am looking.
My questions are as follow:
If I buy a domain, how do I hookup the domain so it's routed to the aws server where I have my website deign, logic and database, how exactly does this work?
What's the best way to buy a domain? does anyone have any experience and advice on the best approach?
Thanks
You'll need to setup your vm and begin hosting your site w/ the custom ec2 URL, then configure the Amazon dns server (Route 53) with your domain to point at the correct vm.
Step 1
Get an ec2 box running (whatever size you think you'll need for traffic/storage). When you go through the portal, you'll need to Authorize Inbound Traffic.
Now you can sign into your ec2 vm, download any dependencies you'll need (npm for instance) and run your site just like you would locally in a terminal. Here's a sample that may help if you have trouble.
Step 2
You now need to the dns servers to translate the domain you owned into the ip of your ec2 vm. You can use the Route 53 service to do this.
Alternatives
You can also use Azure's App Services to do this. It's a cloud app hosting service that's meant to help you get your app on the cloud and scale it without much trouble. Here's a Node.js Sample.
...And here's the instructions on how to setup a custom domain.
I am trying to set up an Amazon Server to host a dynamic website I'm currently creating. I have the domain bought on GoDaddy.com, and I believe that what I've done so far has linked the domain to my Amazon account.
I followed this tutorial : http://www.mycowsworld.com/blog/2013/07/29/setting-up-a-godaddy-domain-name-with-amazon-web-services/
In short, this walked me through setting up and Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) and Amazon Route 53. I then configured the DNS Servers, and my website now launches properly on the domain.
I'm not sure on the next step from here, but I would like to set up:
-A database server
-Anything else that might be necessary to run a dynamic website.
I am very new to hosting websites, and semi-new to web development in general, so the more in depth the better.
Thanks a lot
You have two options on AWS. Run an EC2 server and setup your application or continue to use the AWS managed services like S3.
Flask apps can be hosted on Elastic Beanstalk and
your database can be hosted on RDS (Relational Database Service). Then the two can be integrated.
Otherwise, spin up your own t2.micro instance in EC2. Log in via ssh and set up the database server and application like you have locally. This server could also host the (currently S3 hosted) static files too.
I have no idea what your requirements are, personally I would start with setting up the EC2 instance and go from there as integrating AWS services is without knowing what you need is probably not the easiest first step.
Heroku might be another option. They host their services on AWS and give you an end to end solution for deploying and running your python code without getting your hands dirty setting up servers.
