Terraform + Elastic Beanstalk for Cog

This project gives you a simple way to get cog running on beanstalk. Simply clone down the repo, edit the tfvars file, and run terraform.

Getting Started

• Clone this repo
• Install the awsebcli
• cd terraform
• cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars
• Edit terraform.tfvars
• terraform plan to see the changes.
• terraform apply to apply the changes.
• cd ..
• eb init [--profile profilename] and select the right region and environment
• eb deploy

Notes about the hostname.

You have two choices.

1. Deal with the DNS yourself, this means after terraform applies the changes you will need to create a CNAME record from the elastic beanstalk hostname to cog.[yourdomain.com], you must still set root_domain in the terraform.tfvars correctly

2. In your terraform.tfvars file set root_domain and route53_zone_id correctly and adjust domain_count to 1. This requires your domain to be hosted by AWS on Route53.

Configuring Cog

There is only one small difference to using the official docs for configuring cog.

First, you need to find and ssh into your EC2 instance. You will need to check the amazon web console to get the IP. SSH using ssh ec2-user@[ip]

Once in, you can use the sudo docker ps command to find the container ID for the operable/cog container, and then get into it by using sudo docker exec -it [container-id] bash.

You can then follow along with the rest of the documentation.
