Running

1. Clone the github repository locally
2. Install Python and all modules in ~$ pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Test the app by running locally ~$ python ./web-server/application.py
4. Set your aws credentials, most likely located in ~/.aws/credentials
5. Use eb to create a new elastic beanstalk instance or update ./web-server/.elasticbeanstalk/config.yml to point to an existing instance.
6. Deploy to aws ~$ eb deploy

Example Elastic Beanstalk config.yml

branch-defaults:
  default:
    environment: my-server-dev
    group_suffix: null
global:
  application_name: my-server
  branch: null
  default_ec2_keyname: my_keyname
  default_platform: Python 2.7
  default_region: us-east-1
  profile: eb-cli
  repository: null
  sc: null

Troubleshooting Tips

Installing the awscli in order to use eb.

environment should match the name of an elastic beanstalk server in your aws management console.

If you create a new elastic beanstalk instance using eb and don't see it show up in your management console you should check that you correctly set you public and secret keys in ~/.aws/credentials.

Also check for environment variables that may be overriding your default credentials ~$ echo $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID && echo $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
