Docker and EC2

Setup a EC2 instance eg: t2micro and keep the ssh key pair and ssh login to your VPC.

Basic Approach

 
sudo yum update -y
 
 
sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker
 

Now login to your account at Docker Hub (opens in a new tab) and create a new Repository. Make sure you have .dockerignore properly setup and build your image

 
docker build -t image-name .
 
docker tag image-name repository/name # this will now create a new image with the repository name
 
docker push repository/name
 
docker login # if you are not logged in
 

Now your application's image is now available in docker hub which you can run on your remote server.

 
sudo docker run -d --rm -p 80:80 academind/node-example-1
 
sudo docker ps # verify the running container
 

Make sure security group is properly setup.
