node command does not work on beanstalk created with nodejs preconfiguration - amazon-web-services

I have an issue, I create a beanstalk with nodejs configuration and after it is in running status I ssh to the ec2 created by beanstalk. So my assumtion is that nodejs and npm are already installed in that ec2 but when I run
node --version
npm --version
I get the following errors:
-bash node:: command not found
-bash npm:: command not found
What am I missing here? Does this mean that I need to install node manually?

Yes, You have to setup nodejs.
Check the documentation for how to setup the nodejs environment for beanstalk.
This is a complete guide on how to setup an Express app on elastic beanstalk.

Install ghostscript on load balanced Aws Beanstalk

I am using ghostscript on my current server. Now I am moving to an Aws beanstalk server with Application load balancer.
How do I configure start-up script on elastic beanstalk so whenever a new instance is created by the load balancer, ghostscript is automatically installed.
You can control what's installed in ElasticBeanstalk instances with .ebextensions file.
Whenewher Elastic Beanstalk creates a new EC2 instance, it will run all commands from the file in order to provision instance.
Example of .ebextensions file for installing Ghostscript
packages:
yum:
ghostscript: []
This will install a version of ghostscript from yum repository.
If you need a never version of ghostscript - it is also possible to specify installation shell commands inside ebextensions file. For example, these commands will install Ghostscript 9.23

How to connect to existing elastic beanstalk instance locally from cli?

I am very much new to aws. I have created an environment in elastic beanstalk and deployed my application there using zipped code. The application is up and running now. Now i want to stop and start my elastic beanstalk instance from cli in windows. I could not find any stop button in the aws elastic beanstalk console.
I have installed awsebcli using below command:
pip install awsebcli
Now, i want to connect to my existing environment in elastic beanstalk and stop or start the environment at my will.
How can i do that?
The way the EBCLI (awsebcli) works is that you associate an empty directory on your computer with an EB application.
go to an empty directory
eb init --region <region name>. When prompted for the application name, choose the application you created previously.
eb terminate <environment name>. This will terminate the environment.
To create a new environment, perform eb create.

How to open glassfish admin UI (console) in AWS ElasticBeansTalk installed with glassfish 4.1 java 8?

I have deployed my war file on AWS ElasticBeanstalk (setup with glassfish4.1 java 1.8). I want to open glassfish admin UI in browser.
Thanks in advance!
I am not sure its possible to access the glassfish console UI (at least I never went to this point so far, but might be possible using docker forward port ...)
what I do is the following:
SSH into the ec2 instance elastic beanstalk has provisioned
run sudo docker ps -a to find out about the container running on the instance
ssh into the container sudo docker exec -it <container id here> bash
this will log you on the container running glassfish, from there you can run the asadmin command

Configuring an Application Load Balancer for Elastic beanstalk

I'm trying to configure an ALB for my elb deployment.
I've followed the aws tutorial
but when I'm running eb create test-env --elb-type application
I get: eb: error: unrecognized arguments: --elb-type application
I've updated my eb cli using aws tutorial
(running EB CLI 3.7.6 (Python 2.7.1))
Many Thanks
It looks like you are using an older version of the EB CLI. The support for Application Load Balancers was added in 3.7.8: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/awsebcli
You can upgrade your CLI version by running:
pip install --upgrade awsebcli
