AWS ECS Ghost.js Template

A template for building out a Ghost.js website for running under AWS ECS (Amazon's Elastic Container Service).

Installation

1. Setup your AWS Cluster, Task Definition, and Service for the Container to receive the project. (Note: AWS terminology capitalized.)
2. Setup scripts submodule as referenced here.
3. Edit the config.js changing the app_dns variable at the top.
4. (optional) Edit env.sh from step 1, and add the variables from the config.js as needed for configuring your development database instance (if you choose to create a development instance.
5. Execute the following:

   source env.sh
   ./scripts/docker_build.sh
   ./scripts/docker_deploy.sh

If you wish to test the application before deploying it, execute ./scripts/docker_run.sh.

You may experience an error the first time deploying as the script attempts to restart the container after deployment. Not to worry, but make sure that you have your service in AWS set to 1 or more instances.
