Fix failing node deployments on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Elastic beanstalk runs npm install with a system user that has no homedir. During the npm install step, it's expecting a $HOME env variable for the npm cache (which doesn't exist). add this file to your project's .ebextensions directory to have it use root's homedir as a temporary path.

This workaround was provided by AWS support, but it doesn't appear to be documented anywhere. Determining root cause on this was a massive pain in the ass. Sharing this so others don't need to feel the pain.

I copied my .csshrc to a new machine, and needed to add a domain suffix to the hostnames of 20+ VMs in my cluster config. All of my hostnames end in at least 2 digits (foo-bar-baz-01), so I:

1. Search for instances of 2 digits followed by whitespace.
2. Preserve the digits in a capture group.
3. Append the suffix to the capture group (\1)

Append domain suffix where none exists:

Search: ([0-9]{2})\s Replace: \1.my.domain.suffix
