This is my first python-Flask app on AWS. It has caused headaches.
The procedure that I have followed is:
mkdir myapp && cd myapp
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install Flask SQLAlchemy twilio psycopg2
pip freeze > requirements.txt
mkdir .ebextensions
cd .ebxtensions
nano application.config #content of this file below
packages:
yum:
postgresql93-devel: []
option_settings:
- option_name: MANDRILL_APIKEY
value: my_value
- option_name: MANDRILL_USERNAME
value: my_email_address
cd ..
deactivate
eb init
eb create
After a whole range of problems, including with options settings and psycopg2, the above worked.
Now the issue is how to update when I make changes to the app on my local machine. I have tried as follows:
git init
eb init
git add .
git commit -m "my first update"
git aws.push
which does not work and returns error message saying that "git aws.push"
is not a legal command (or something like that). I have also tried "eb push"
.
So 2 questions here:
- Why is the above procedure with git failing?
- What is the correct way to push updates or changes to elastic beanstalk?
Thank you, all help gratefully received.
