Configuring AWS ECS to have access to AWS EFS

If you would like to persist data from your ECS containers, i.e. hosting databases like MySQL or MongoDB with Docker, you need to ensure that you can mount the data directory of the database in the container to volume that's not going to dissappear when your container or worse yet, the EC2 instance that hosts your containers, is restarted or scaled up or down for any reason.

Don't know how to create your own AWS ECS Cluster? Go here!

New Cluster

Sadly the EC2 provisioning process doesn't allow you to configure EFS during the initial config. After your create your cluster, follow the guide below.

If you're using an Alpine-based Node server like duluca/minimal-node-web-server follow this guide:

The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

git clone --bare [email protected]:usi-systems/easytrace.git

##APACHE 2.4

$ sudo apt-get install apache2

##MYSQL 5.6.*

$ sudo aptitude install mysql-server-core-5.6 mysql-server-5.6 mysql-client-5.6

##PHP 5.6.*

This is a quick tutorial explaining how to get a static website hosted on Heroku.

Why do this?

Heroku hosts apps on the internet, not static websites. To get it to run your static portfolio, personal blog, etc., you need to trick Heroku into thinking your website is a PHP app. This 6-step tutorial will teach you how.

	#things to do
	1.sudo a2enmod rewrite
	2.sudo chmod 644 /var/www/html/.htaccess
	3.sudo service apache2 restart
	4.sudo a2enmod headers // this for prerender stuff if using prerender.io, which you see from line no.20
	5. in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default

	<Directory /var/www/html>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
	AllowOverride All

	# Assume we are in your home directory
	cd ~/

	# Clone the repo from GitLab using the `--mirror` option
	$ git clone --mirror [email protected]:mario/my-repo.git

	# Change into newly created repo directory
	$ cd ~/my-repo.git

	# Push to GitHub using the `--mirror` option. The `--no-verify` option skips any hooks.

	# Change YOUR_TOKEN to your prerender token
	# Change http://example.com (at the end of the last RewriteRule) to your website url

	<IfModule mod_headers.c>
	RequestHeader set X-Prerender-Token "YOUR_TOKEN"
	</IfModule>

	<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On

	//Install Macports.
	//Install aircrack-ng:
	sudo port install aircrack-ng
	//Install the latest Xcode, with the Command Line Tools.
	//Create the following symlink:
	sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport /usr/sbin/airport
	//Figure out which channel you need to sniff:
	sudo airport -s

	sudo airport en1 sniff [CHANNEL]
