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

Setup Postgres.app to use PostGIS on OS X

Download and Install Postgres.app

Before we can setup PostGIS we need to have a local version of Postgresql installed and running. The most effecient way to do this is to download and install Postgres.app.

Spatially Enable your Postgres Database

Once Postgres.app is installed in your computers /Applications directory. Open the Terminal and enter the following two commands

psql -d DATABASE_NAME -f /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/share/postgresql/contrib/postgis-2.1/postgis.sql

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
