Overview

Currently, the way Docker containers are deployed on AWS is basically having them run on an EC2 instance (with public IP 3.87.30.85). This means that each service occupies a unique port on the machine. Below is a list of running services and the ports they are using.

Procedure

First, download the key pair file DIAPER-test-key.pem and copy your Docker image and other relevant file to the EC2 instance using scp:

scp -r -i /path/to/DIAPER-test-key.pem /path/to/project/folder ec2-user@3.87.30.85:~/

Then,  ssh into the EC2 instance using

ssh -i /path/to/DIAPER-test-key.pem ec2-user@3.87.30.85

Once logged in, navigate to the project folder you just uploaded and run the Docker as you would do locally. If your service is blocking, do the following

ctrl-z
bg
disown -h

Then you can log out and the service will continue running on the EC2 instance.
