Note: When creating an EC2 instance, the type depends on the type of instance upon creation (Amazon Linux = ec2-user whereas Ubuntu = ubuntu).

ssh -i [location of key] [type]@[Public IPv4 address]

ssh -i grants_dev_tools_key.pem ec2-user@18.234.88.211

# Create a copy of the file/folder you want to upload
# cp -r directory

# Before you copy your folder to an EC2 instance, remove any files or folders you do not want copied over

cd directory
rm -rf .git
rm -rf node_modules

# Secure copy (SCP) the folder you want copied to the EC2 instance along with your key

scp -i ./Code/Keys/grants_dev_tools_key.pem -r grants_dev_tools ec2-user@184.73.21.17:/home/ec2-user/

# The inside the EC2 Instance is bare bones and has nothing.

# If Amazon Linux

# If Ubuntu or Debian

sudo apt update

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/*

# Secure copy the newly uploaded file/folder to the /var/www/html directory

sudo cp -r /home/ec2-user/grants_dev_tools_updated/* /var/www/html/

Note: ec2-98-88-77-166.compute-1.amazonaws.com is the Public DNC address.

Note: You need to add a custom rule for allowing port 3000 to work. Only HTTP works, NOT HTTPS: http://98.88.77.166:3000/.

Note: PM2 is a process manager for Node.js. It is used to keep the server running automatically.

Note: The -r is used to recursively copy a directory.

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name _;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
  }
