Hosting a Docker Container on AWS EC2 Free Tier in under 12 minutes

I walk through how to build and host docker containers on the AWS EC2 free tier. Link to the GitHub Flask docker repo shown in the video: github.com/vastevenson/ec2-do...

[@user-hc2ep3bn7c]

Hey man. Thanks for this.

[@uzzielperez4316]

Thanks very much for this!

[@ravitejalam]

Great video. I have a question. Why you didn't you use gunicorn and nginx?

[@ericferole7972]

Hi Vincent, Thank for you tutorial. Regarding the files you upload, let's say I have a Django project with many more files. How would you proceed? Thank you !

[@najbighouse]

what about doing this with docker-compose? which would be the steps for it?

[@TheRFreyre]

Pretty cool. Thanks. Wouldn't cloning from github be easier?

[@jordanfox3782]

thanks for the video. I wonder if you could give more details about why you chose to copy the dockerfile and build the image on your ec2, rather than pulling down the image from dockerhub or some other registry and running the container which I would have thought is way more usual approach.

[@VincentStevenson]

Good question - my main reason was to keep it on the free tier and stay simple enough for a relatively short video. But yes, for a more practical setup, using a container registry is better and I would do that.

[@krish4659]

Thanks ! that was helpful

[@tomstalley3179]

Thank you!

[@nicolassuarez2933]

Really strugling trying to atach a volume of 30gb to this instace, running out of space all the time., any tip?

[@MisterRyanW]

Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@nickname8668]

Just curious, why cannot you dockerize the file locally and upload it to the ec2? I thought docker was supposed to be multi-platform and allow you to dockerize in a different environment?

[@MyRonniej]

hello new here was there a prerequisite video before this video explaining the terminal before you got started

[@anasouardini]

Be careful with that resource-hungry docker container.

[@eternalio1729]

hey what ide do you use?

[@najbighouse]

pycharm

[@eternalio1729]

What themes?

[@anythingforclicks]

I’m so confused 😞

[@saifeddinesassi2782]

I was charged around 0.1$ daily when it create the default VPC

[@glitchbug3728]

its eip cost,release it

[@mihirdutta-DPSi]

4:33 Change permission to avoid `sudo`

[@muhammadhadziqrazin7213]

yes and perhaps you should re-connect to the instance to make it works!

[@windws7137]

It builds a container but doesn't show up in the website address , how to fix it ? solution: docker kill $(docker ps -q) docker start -ai container_name or run a new one from image sudo docker run -d -p 80:3000 adguard/adguardhome

[@windws7137]

These are the commands sudo yum upgrade sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker -y sudo service docker start sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER Disable Systemd resolver: sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved docker run --name adguardhome\ --restart unless-stopped\ -v /my/own/workdir:/opt/adguardhome/work\ -v /my/own/confdir:/opt/adguardhome/conf\ -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp\ -p 67:67/udp\ -p 80:80/tcp -p 443:443/tcp -p 443:443/udp -p 3000:3000/tcp\ -p 853:853/tcp\ -p 784:784/udp -p 853:853/udp -p 8853:8853/udp\ -p 5443:5443/tcp -p 5443:5443/udp\ -d adguard/adguardhome It doesn't show up int he IP address
