If you forget your private key you will not be able to easily SSH back in.

Find and select your running EC2 instance and click Connect then follow the instructions.

Create Elastic IP and associate to your instance.

Create instance and create name of private key and download (you will need this to ssh login to your cloud instance).

Setup security groups including HTTP port 80 and HTTPS.

Ĭreate a new AWS EC2 Instance and set a fixed public IP. Expose port 3000 (we will later use Nginx reverse proxy to send HTTPS port 80 requests to localhost:3000) docker run -p 3000: 3000 Ĭommit and deploy to a Github repo where we will later clone from our EC2 Instance. Test locally by building the Docker image (check Docker desktop app is running).

usr/src/app # Expose publc port and run npm command EXPOSE 3000 CMD RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app WORKDIR /usr/src/app # Install app dependencies COPY package.json /usr/src/app RUN npm install # Bundle app source COPY. # // Dockerfile # Select node version and set working directory FROM node: 8-alpine log( `Listening on PORT $`) Ĭreate Dockerfile which will install specific version of node, install dependencies, expose relevant port and run start command.
