Installing DynamoDB on Homestead

homestead-dynamodb-setup.sh

# We need to update first the repository
# to check for missing packages etc..
#
# Run the following command if ever possible
sudo apt update;

# Install the necessary packages for the dynamodb
# unzip - unzips the zip file for us to open it up
# openjdk - java package for us to run jar files
# 
# Then we'll install the dynamodb-admin for the gui 
# And export the port that we'll be using for the dynamodb-admin 
sudo apt install unzip openjdk-11-jre-headless;
curl -o /opt/dynamodb-server.zip https://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/dynamodb-local-tokyo/dynamodb_local_latest.zip
unzip /opt/dynamodb-server.zip -d /opt/dynamodb-server
npm install dynamodb-admin -g
export DYNAMO_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8099

# We will require pm2 to run the services
# Install pm2 through node package manager 
npm install pm2 -g

# Now well add the process to pm2
# The first part is for the server and the next 
# is for the admin. Please do change the name/port
# depending on what you prefer
pm2 start 'java -Djava.library.path=/opt/dynamodb-server/DynamoDBLocal_lib -jar /opt/dynamodb-server/DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb --port 8099' --name dynamodb-server;
pm2 start 'export DYNAMO_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8099;dynamodb-admin --port 8098' --name dynamodb-admin;
