# Add to .ebextensions at the root of your application and name your commands file (e.g., commands.config)

# -------------------------------- Commands ------------------------------------

# processed in alphabetical order by name, and they run before the application 
# and web server are set up and the application version file is extracted. 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Create RDS database, requires adding env variables.  
#  Resources:
#  AWSEBRDSDatabase:
#    Type: AWS::RDS::DBInstance
#    Properties:
#      AllocatedStorage: 5
#      DBInstanceClass: db.t1.micro
#      DBName: #insert db name
#      Engine: mysql
#      EngineVersion: 5.6
#      MasterUsername: #insert name
#      MasterUserPassword: #insert pass
    
# ---------------------------- Container Commands ------------------------------
# You can use the container_commands key to execute commands for your container. 
# The commands in container_commands are processed in alphabetical order by 
# name. They run after the application and web server have been set up and the 
# application version file has been extracted, but before the application 
# version is deployed. They also have access to environment variables such as
# your AWS security credentials. Additionally, you can use leader_only. One 
# instance is chosen to be the leader in an Auto Scaling group. If the 
# leader_only value is set to true, the command runs only on the instance 
# that is marked as the leader.
#
# Artisan commands include environment flag for production. If you are not
# deploying to a production environment, update the flag. 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
