aws-ec2-static-deploy

This project is a template of auto deploy the application from GitHub to AWS EC2.

It is implemented using the easingthemes/ssh-deploy action library. You can find a more detailed description of the configuration features there.

The template contains index.html, 404.html and 500.html pages that NGINX uses.

Deploy configuration

To run the deployment, you need to configure the following variables (secrets) for your github repository:

REMOTE_USER and EC2_SSH_KEY

you need to create a new user and ssh key in your EC2.

sudo useradd new_user
sudo passwd -l new_user
sudo mkdir -p /home/new_user/.ssh
sudo touch /home/new_user/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo chown -R new_user:new_user /home/new_user/.ssh
sudo chmod 700 /home/new_user/.ssh
sudo chmod 600 /home/new_user/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo su - new_user
cd /home/new_user/.ssh
ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -b 4096
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa

new_user = your user

Note:

PUBLIC key is for EC2 and you copy it with cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

PRIVATE key is for github. Fully copy it to EC2_SSH_KEY

REMOTE_HOST

Get it from AWS EC2 configuration.
