fstab/aws-cli repository overview

⁠docker-aws-cli

Docker⁠ image for running the Amazon Web Services Command Line Interface⁠.

The versions currently included are aws-cli 1.7.45 on Python 2.7.6.

⁠Background

The aws command is a command line interface for Amazon's Web Services⁠, like EC2⁠, S3⁠, etc.

The docker-aws-cli creates a Docker⁠ image containing all dependencies needed to run aws. That way, you can run aws in a Docker⁠ container without setting the aws dependencies on the host system.

⁠Run from Docker Hub

A pre-built image is available on Docker Hub⁠ and can be run as follows:

docker run -t -i fstab/aws-cli

The container will start a bash shell with the aws⁠ command ready to use.

In the examples directory in the Docker container, you find a start.sh script that can be used to start your first EC2⁠ instance. See examples⁠ for more info.

⁠Build from Source

1. Make sure Docker⁠ is installed.

2. Clone docker-aws-cli from GitHub⁠

   git clone https://github.com/fstab/docker-aws-cli.git
   

   Copy

3. Build the docker image

   cd docker-aws-cli
   docker build -t="fstab/aws-cli" .
   

   Copy

4. Run a docker container with that image

   docker run -t -i fstab/aws-cli
   

   Copy

⁠Getting started with the AWS CLI

The script examples/start.sh can be used to set up an EC2⁠ instance. See examples⁠ for more info.

For documentation on the AWS CLI, see the AWS command line interface documentation⁠ and the aws-cli GitHub page⁠.
