Overview

Currently, the way Docker containers are deployed on AWS is basically having them run on an EC2 instance (with public IP 54.174.73.132). 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 ssh into the EC2 instance using

ssh -i /path/to/DIAPER-test-key.pem ec2-user@54.174.73.132

Then, pull your Docker image and other relevant file from GitHub. Once pulled, 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.
