# Deploy to AWS using docker-machine and docker-compose

## 1. Prepare your machine

Please follow this steps:

1.1 Install docker in your localhost. [Installation link](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)
1.2 Install docker-machine in your localhost. [Installation link](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
1.3 Install docker-compose in your localhost. [Installation link](https://docs.docker.com/machine/install-machine/)
1.4 Create an account in AWS (skip this step if you already have one). [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/)
1.5 Create the AWS credentials file in your localhost. [docker-machine + aws](https://docs.docker.com/machine/drivers/aws/)
1.6 Log into aws and get your VPC ID
   1.6.1 Go to: https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/
   1.6.2 Click on the VPC link
   1.6.3 Copy your VPC ID

## 2. Deploy to AWS

Please write this commands in your terminal:

2.1 `docker-machine create -d amazonec2 --amazonec2-vpc-id <your-vpc-id> --amazonec2-ami ami-e13739f6 <project_name>`
2.2 `docker-machine env <project_name>`
2.3 `eval $(docker-machine env <project_name>)`<br>
   **(From now on all docker, docker-machine and docker-compose commands will point to the AWS EC2 instance)**
2.4. `cd <project_dir>`
2.5 `docker-compose build`
2.6 `docker-compose up -d`

## 3. Check <project_name> is up and running

Please follow this steps:

3.1 Go to your [AWS EC2](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2)
3.2 Click on the "running instances" link
3.3 Copy the public IP of the <project_name> instance
3.4 Check the security group applied to the instance allows inbound TCP traffic to the port on your exposed ports
3.5 On your browser go to:<br>
   `http://<project_name-instance-public-ip>:<port>/`

Congratulations! You just deployed your project to AWS using docker-machine and docker compose:
