I did this using aws cli so make sure that's installed within your wsl environment and configure the user and that you keep updating the access key
-
Make sure docker is installed as well
-
I used an ide for this called vscode and configured github within its terminal
-
To avoid extra charge did a cleanup after
-
Created an index.html file which shows a simple welcome page
-
Created a docker file with required information
NOTE: HAD SOME ISSUE WITH INSTALLING DOCKER AFTER MUCH TROUBLESHOOTING AND CHECKING THE WEBSITE I REALISED MY WSL VERSION WAS 1 AND NOT 2 AS REQUIRED BY DOCKER. I DID THE FOLLOWING:
wsl -l -v and saw version was 1 then did the following
wsl –update
wsl -–set-default-version 2
wsl –set-version distro_name 2 (replace distro name with name of your distro)
Verify run wsl -l -v it should show version 2
Then rerun wsl -–set-default-version 2
-
Build an image of the app so far using command (include the full stop)
docker build -t name_of_app . -
Push container image to Amazon ECR For the purposes of this project I combined all these lines into a script under the name push_to_ecr.sh and ran the bash script in wsl with appropriate permissions
-
This is the final output of pushing image to ECR
-
Create app runner service and this is the final output
Note: The output may freeze as creating the app takes time so modify aws app runner create-service command and add this --no-cli-pager at end or run script in background
