How can i run this in AMI. It created the conf file and folders But how can i check if this is running or not?

@Yustum Thank you you save my time. :) @agam16 from my mind This is for testing purpose. Amazon not recommend to install everything on ElasticSearch cause problem with state image save you should create Custom AMI and run by Amazon Beanstalk again.

@yustam thank for this gist save my day 👍

Got follwoing error on EB 64bit Amazon Linux 2016.09 v3.1.0 running Node.js

@yusam really i am very struct with redis configured in AWS elastic beanstalk. I had completed sails.js framework with redis, it is working fine in local machine. How to do make runnable in AWS EB?
Below are i tried steps.

1. ElasticCache - created Redis instance with security group which was created in AWS EB environment instance.
2. sails - config/session.js - In this file, i am just enabled adapter redis and provide options host and port.

But i didnt get AWS EB workable for my sails.js API. Kindly advice.

I'm getting the same error as @yingliangzhang, using single docker application

I have redis-2.8.4, how to update it on EB?

Thank you very much! works perfect to use in my application on 127.0.0.1
