How to run docker-compose on EC2 AWS

In this video I want to show you how to run an application with docker-compose on an Amazon AWS EC2 instance.
This might be preferred for a hobby project or when you want to make your application quickly available.

Self-hosting like this is discouraged for production applications, I would rather recommend managed solutions like Amazon EKS or ECS. I'll demonstrate EKS and ECS in future videos.

This video might encourage you to try out Amazon AWS for your hobby project. AWS is a stable in the industry and very valuable tool to master.

#aws #docker #dockercompose #ec2 #selfhosted

SSH into the machine:
chmod 0400 PEM_FILE.pem

Why we have created a mount "/data"? I assume that we just copy files into /home directory, how volume "/data" is involved here?

I am trying to deploy a `docker-compose.yaml` on a public cloud VM. There is no other file I would like to deploy

My file that contains 3 images to build the container (see code below): Kafka Broker, Zookeeper and Python-Producer (which basically just produces random numbers periodically and writes to a Kafka Topic; and this image is deployed publicly).

I have followed 2 comprehensive tutorials on how to deploy a container on VM using GCP & AWS EC2 meticulously. But I am getting the following errors

- On AWS EC2 on Linux → I am unable to install docker-compose engine
- On GCP VM on Ubuntu → I am able to run docker-compose up command but it throws an error stating the broker cannot be started



version: '2'

services:

Any help and guidance will be much appreciated - TIA!

hallo, i following the video but i have an issue when i SSH into the machine.

This part works well:
"chmod 0400 PEM_FILE.pem
but when i check if docker has been installed, its says "Command not found"
Funny fact, docker-compose has been installed but not docker
