This repository contains the source for an Elastic Beanstalk Custom Platform. This custom platform is based on Ubuntu 16.04 and supports Node.js 8.x.x.
See the Packer template, di_platform.json, for details on the AMI and scripts that the builder runs as it creates the platform.
Once Packer has built the platform, it is available in the Console, EB CLI, and APIs/SDKs as "DI Platform Container".
For further information on custom platforms, see the Custom Platforms docs.
Everything you place under builder/platform-uploads/etc path will appear under /etc directory on Ubuntu. So you can override any package you want.
Additionally, if you want to change an application or config deployment process, feel free to change scripts under builder/platform-uploads/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks directory for relevant hooks.
More details about Platform Hooks, please refer to this article.
In order to use the AMI in your region and account you need to build it first. You may do it by issuing the following command:
ebp create
It will create a new version of the platform and new AMI image which can be used for your EC2 instances.
To create a new environment using this platform use the following command:
eb create -p "aws_arn_identifier"
Where aws_arn_identifier is an ARN path to your recently built platform and has a similar format to: arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:us-east-1:1234567890:platform/DIPlatform_Ubuntu/1.2.3. Copy this path from the previous step.
In certain circumstances, instances launched by Packer are not cleaned up and have to be manually terminated.
eb terminate eb-custom-platform-builder-packer --force
Alternatively, you can use manual cleanup
- Add a config option for turning off/on ClamAV
