I got to here after spending hours trying to deploy to an Elastic Beanstalk instance via CircleCi 2.0 so I thought I'd write up what worked for me to hopefully help others. Shout out to RobertoSchneiders who's steps for getting it to work with CircleCi 1.0 were my starting point.
For the record, I'm not the most server-savvy of developers so there may be a better way of doing this.
- Add user here
- Set a username and select
Programmatic accessas the Access type - Click 'Create group' on the user permissions page
- Set a group name and search for the
AdministratorAccess-AWSElasticBeanstalkandAmazonS3FullAccesspolicies and select them- Note: This used to be just
AWSElasticBeanstalkFullAccess, but that's since been deprecated
- Note: This used to be just
- Create the group so it's assigned to your new user
- Review and create the user
- 'Create New Application'
- 'Create New Environment'
- 'Create web server'
- On the Environment Information page where it asks you to set the 'Environment name', set it to something with the Git branch name in e.g.
BRANCHNAME-my-application- I do this as I have a staging branch and the master branch so in our EB config, we'll be replacing
BRANCHNAMEwith the $CIRCLE_BRANCH environment variable provided by CircleCi so when deploying the staging branch for example, it will know to deploy to thestaging-my-applicationenvironment on Elastic Beanstalk
- I do this as I have a staging branch and the master branch so in our EB config, we'll be replacing
- Follow the rest of the setup as you require
- Project Settings > Environment Variables
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
- AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
- Update the values in the below snippet to match what you setup.
branch-defaults:
master:
environment: $CIRCLE_BRANCH-my-application
global:
application_name: My Application
default_ec2_keyname: XXXXXX
default_platform: 64bit Amazon Linux 2017.09 v2.6.2 running Ruby 2.4 (Passenger Standalone)
default_region: eu-west-1
sc: git
Note: Ensure the application_name is exactly what you called your application in Elastic Beanstalk when you did the 'Create New Application' step.
Also Note: Do not set a profile: value here, the profile will be set based on the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables you setup.
- The following is what I think is the bare minimum I needed to get only the
masterorstagingbranches on your Git repo to deploy. - Update
$CIRCLE_BRANCH-my-applicationto the environment name you set in Elastic Beanstalk.
version: 2
jobs:
deploy:
working_directory: ~/app
docker:
- image: circleci/ruby:2.4.3
steps:
- checkout
- run:
name: Installing deployment dependencies
working_directory: /
command: |
sudo apt-get -y -qq update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev build-essential
sudo pip3 install awsebcli
- run:
name: Deploying
command: eb deploy $CIRCLE_BRANCH-my-application
workflows:
version: 2
build:
jobs:
- deploy:
filters:
branches:
only:
- staging
- master
- Commit and let CircleCi do it's thing. If all goes well you should see it updating on the Elastic Beanstalk dashboard as the 'Deploying' step is running in CircleCi.
@lifenautjoe - sorry, missed your comment, but checking out your config on openbook, I'm guess you managed to resolve the issue?
