Docker Container with AWS CLI and AWS Elatic Beanstalk (EB) CLI

A container for running:

• AWS CLI
• AWS EB CLI
• Pyhton 3
• pip
• Git

Use it to deploy your applications from CLI or use the image in your CI/CD pipelines.

Docker Pull Command

docker pull alishaikh/aws-ebcli

Running - In a CLI

To run the CLI tools, use the CLI command just like you normally would. The combination of -w and -v mounts your PWD into the container as the current working directory for the EB CLI. If you're on Windows you'll want to use %cd% instead of $PWD.

docker run -i -w /work -v $PWD:/work alishaikh/aws-ebcli eb --version
docker run -i alishaikh/aws-ebcli aws --version
docker run -i -w /work -v $PWD:/work alishaikh/aws-ebcli eb create test-app-${BUILD_NUMBER}
docker run -i alishaikh/aws-ebcli aws ec2 describe-instances --region=us-east-1

To provide credentials, you have 2 options:

1. Use -e to export all your AWS creds env vars
2. Mount your ~/.aws directory to the docker container

Example with -e

docker run -i -w /work -v $PWD:/work -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -e AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=$AWS_SESSION_TOKEN alishaikh/aws-ebcli eb status
docker run -i -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -e AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=$AWS_SESSION_TOKEN alishaikh/aws-ebcli aws ec2 describe-instances --region=us-east-1

Example with mounting ~/.aws

PowerShell

docker run -i -w /work -v ${PWD}:/work -v $env:USERPROFILE/.aws:/root/.aws alishaikh/aws-ebcli eb status

Command Promt (CMD)

docker run -i -w /work -v %cd%:/work -v %userprofile%/.aws:/root/.aws alishaikh/aws-ebcli eb status
