I've got a project setup in Codeship which hooks into my private Github repo, tests and builds. I want to use a custom script to deploy to my DigitalOcean Droplet (VM).
I thought of adding a git remote and using a simple push to the machine using SSH. This was based on the following resource. This fails because I would be pushing to a non-bare repo on the target machine.
Anyone aware of resources or ideas on how to deploy to the VM?
Found on Codeship's documentation that you can use a custom script to run commands using SSH. Instructions are here.

I am working deploying a Laravel application to the AWS ElasticBeanstalk. I configured the CLI and I could deploy the application to an ElasticBeanstalk environment running the command. This is what I have done so far.
I created an ElasticBeanstalk application and an environment in it.
Then I initialised the application for deployment using "eb init" and deployed it using "eb deploy". But I would like to add some additional commands to be run during the deployment. For example, I might run "gulp build" or other commands. Where and how can I figure it? I know that there is an .elasticextension folder but that does not allow us to add custom commands to be run on deployment.

Not sure what do you mean that you can't run commands in .ebextensions during deployment. But the extensions are commonly used for running commands or scripts when you are deploying your app. There are special sections for that:
commands: You can use the commands key to execute commands on the EC2 instance. The commands run before the application and web server are set up and the application version file is extracted.
container_commands: You can use the container_commands key to execute commands that affect your application source code. Container commands run after the application and web server have been set up and the application version archive has been extracted, but before the application version is deployed.
There are also platform hooks on Amazon Linux 2 to further fine tune the deployment of your applications.
Finally, if all of them are not suited, you could create dedicated build step in CodePipleline for you application. The dedicated step could be used to create fully deployment version of your application for EB with minimal amount of work to do at EB instances.
Right now I am manually deploying WAR files onto wildfly server(which is hosted on an ec2 instance) but I want to automate this and get rid of the manual deployments.
I build the application using jenkins (from another EC2 instance) and after that i want to deploy to the wildfly server and since i am also planning to user codepipeline, can anyone please tell me how to deploy an applcation on wildfly server using AWS CodeDeploy?
I am new to codedeploy so not that familiar with its usage.
Thank you,

Hi #Ajith Code Deploy is the perfect tool for deploying applications in AWS. But it has some limitations, for example to give a source repository for the Code Build/ Code Deploy you can only choose these 3 as the code repository.
AWS Code Commit
AWS S3 Bucket

You cant provide your own custom repository or Bitbucket. Please go through the below Examples for deploying applications using Code Deploy. I can't explain all the steps because it have a lot of steps. here they are explaining app deployment using tomcat, replace this with your wildfly scripts.

I'm seeing so many different sources how to to achieve CI with Jenkins and EC2 and strangely none seem to fit my needs.
I have 2 EC2 ubuntu instances. One is empty and the other has Jenkins installed on it.
I want to perform a build on the Jenkins machine and copy the jar to the other ubuntu machine. Once the jar is there i want to run mvn spring-boot:run
That's is - a very simple flow which i can't find a good source to follow that doesn't include slaves, dockers etc..
AWS Code Deploy lets you use a Jenkins and deploy it on your EC2 instances.
Quick google search gave me this very detailed instruction on how to setup code pipeline with AWS Code Deploy.
The pipeline uses GitHub -> Jenkins -> EC2 flow, as you need it.
Set up jenkins to do a build then scp the artifact to the other machine
There's an answer here how to setup ssh keys for jenkins to publish via ssh about setting up the keys for ssh
I have created a laravel application and now i have push my code to a staging server.
In my amazon AWS account I have created an EC2 server, simple way to do this, and find it confusing.
I want to run this project on server.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
You can use startup script on your EC2.
Your startup script should do the following steps:
1-Install requirement software or services in the new machine.
2-Download or clone latest your app code from git and build it if necessary.
3-Download other assets or software or data from the S3 bucket.(Java, Tomcat, or WARs)
4-Start and configure services.
You should strongly consider using the AWS CodeDeploy service to manage the deployment of code on your instance.
It is easy to setup, and the service itself is free; you pay for instance usage only.
I am hosting a Django application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. I recently made changes to my URLS.py and apparently (according to this thread: Django ignoring changes made to URLS.py file - Amazon AWS ) I need to 'reload the django process / restart the thread'. I figured that meant for me to run
eb stop
and then
eb start
again but when I ran
eb stop
it needed to first terminate my database as well as my EC2 instance, cloudwatch alarm etc. Is there any way for me to restart the DJango process so that it can update the URLS.py file without me having to run
eb stop
eb start
?
You do not need to stop and start your environment. From what I understand you need to update your environment with your updated source code. Did you try git commit folloed by git aws.push?
Take a look here:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/command-reference-get-started.html
Let me know if you run into any issues with git aws.push.
You can also try restart app server on your environment using aws cli:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/elasticbeanstalk/restart-app-server.html
But as far as I can tell, git aws.push will suffice.
I've had troubles with my Django files not updating after using:
$ eb deploy
The eb cli tool does not have a restart command, however you can login to the AWS console and restart your environment through the actions menu on the dashboard for your eb environment.
This generally fixes any issues that I have. However sometimes I've had to ssh directly into the instance and enable debugging through the settings.
The other command that Rohit referenced is from a different aws cli tool. I haven't personally tried it but here is more documentation on the command and how to install it:
