Extend and override nginx config for Elastic Beanstalk Amazon Linux 2

Extend and override nginx config for Elastic Beanstalk Amazon Linux 2

Documentation on how to override or extend the default nginx config on Elastic Beanstalk running om Amazon Linux 2. Correct as of 2021-08-01. Also see the general documentation on how to extend linux servers.

All references to placing files refer to putting a file at this location in your application bundle. You should never modify a file directly at your Elastic Beanstalk server by ssh:ing to the server, since such a change will be wiped whenever your servers autoscale or if you rebuild your application completely.

Adding a new location block

The easiest extension is to add a new location block to the main server block. This can be done by placing a .conf file with a server block in the folder .platform/nginx/conf.d/elasticbeanstalk. Any such file is automatically included in the main server block.

Overriding the default location

The simplest possible use of esbuild to import a package and run a function in the browser
build:
./node_modules/.bin/esbuild index.js --bundle --outfile=out.js
#!/bin/bash
#
# A script that takes a Twitter data archive, which is produced as a
# set of JavaScript files (different from the regular archive, which
# is CSV and HTML), and converts the `tweet.js` file, which contains
# all of the tweets, into tractable JSON, one tweet per line. It then
# inserts /that/ into a SQLite3 database, and extracts a simple
# relational table of tweets from the JSON. Finally, it runs datasette
# on the resulting database to allow you to explore.

A note about npm cli work status

When will npm@6.9.1 be released (and other PRs merged?)

On March 22, npm fired several members of the open source and community team for discussing workplace conditions and other labor organizing activities. As a result, core employee contributors to the npm cli were removed from the project, and others have left in solidarity or put their work on hold.

Multiple claims were filed with the NLRB on this matter. The NLRB has investigated and found sufficient evidence of validity to proceed. The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects US employees' right to engage in discussions of workplace concerns without threat of retaliation -- and awareness of the importance of how we treat each other is something I valued so much in collaborating with the cli team. How can we work together if we aren't free to discuss what we need?

It's disappointing for all of us to find the work we were doing interrup

A Python function to test if a noun is countable. Too many requests will get you locked out, so use sparingly. EDIT: probably won't work with changes to the NGram viewer; see comments below
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re, urllib2, json
def countable_noun(thing):
'''
searches Google NGram to see if a word is a countable/mass noun
returns True if countable, False if not
