coreypobrien/ro-fun repository overview

⁠RO Funtimes

This is a super silly demo of deploying an app to AWS with one line.

The app is a reeealy basic REST api for reading and writing keys in a redis database.

⁠Usage

⁠Prereqs

1. Installer Docker
2. Create an SSH key in your AWS account named rodemo
3. Snag your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY for some AWS_REGION and

   $ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myid AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=myaccesskey AWS_REGION=someregion
   

   Copy

⁠Make it!

$ docker run --rm -it \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -e AWS_REGION \
    -v ${PWD}/output/:/output \
    coreypobrien/ro-fun create

⁠Use it!

$ curl your.ip.from.above/newkey -d 'asdfasdf
'
Roger Roger
$ curl your.ip.from.above/newkey
asdfasdf
$ curl your.ip.from.above
newkey

⁠Clean it!

$ docker run --rm -it \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -e AWS_REGION \
    -v ${PWD}/output/:/output \
    coreypobrien/ro-fun destroy

⁠Notes and caveats and other things

Did I mention is mostly for fun? It really is an anti-pattern in at least a few major ways.

• The app should be its own image instead of being built on the host
• The deployment should use ASGs
• docker-compose is a pretty crappy way to deploy a Docker app
• The Terraform plan has no variables to change even basic things like names of resources
• Terraform is using local state instead of S3 or some other remote state storage
