Deploying docker on AWS Beanstalk only serves html files, no other files - amazon-web-services

Question

I have tried to get this project deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk: https://github.com/coralproject/talk The dockerfile exposes port 5000 and I have defined environment variables also all using port 5000.
When I run the project locally with the recommended docker-compose file (https://coralproject.github.io/talk/installation-from-docker/#installing) everything works fine locally.
But when I deploy the app to Beanstalk, the html page is served and loads fine, however other files that are referenced locally such as my bundle.js and favicon files return a 502.
What am I missing?

Answer 1

The problem is that you are missing a Dockerrun.aws.json file at the root level of your repository. This file is necessary for Beanstalk to determine how to execute the set of containers in your project.
Also note that the format of the sections in this file is similar to that of Amazon ECS Task definitions
