How to set ci/cd for nodejs app with aws code deploy and aws code pipline

Installation instructions

1. Launch ubuntu 20 server in aws

2. ssh to ubuntu 20 to install packages

ssh -i <key.pem> ubuntu@<ip-address> -v

3. Update and Upgrade ubuntu machine and install node, nvm and pm2

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

3.1 install node

To install or update nvm, you should run the [install script][2]. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following cURL or Wget command:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

Or

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

Running either of the above commands downloads a script and runs it. The script clones the nvm repository to ~/.nvm, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, or ~/.bashrc).

3.2 Copy & Past (each line separately)

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

3.3 Verify that nvm has been installed

nvm --version

3.4 Install node

nvm install --lts # Latest stable node js server version

3.5 Check nodejs installed

node --version

3.6 Check npm installed

npm -v

4. Clone nodejs-server-cicd repository

cd /home/ubuntu

git clone https://github.com/saasscaleup/nodejs-server-cicd.git

5. Run node app.js (Make sure everything working)

cd /home/ubuntu/nodejs-server-cicd

node app.js

6. Install pm2 and run as sudo (Run nodejs in background and when server restart)

npm install -g pm2 # may require sudo

6.1 Starting the app

sudo pm2 start app.js --name=nodejs-server

sudo pm2 save     # saves the running processes
                  # if not saved, pm2 will forget
                  # the running apps on next boot

6.2 IMPORTANT: If you want pm2 to start on system boot

sudo pm2 startup # starts pm2 on computer boot

7. Set node and pm2 available to root

sudo ln -s "$(which node)" /sbin/node

sudo ln -s "$(which npm)" /sbin/npm

sudo ln -s "$(which pm2)" /sbin/pm2

8. Install aws code deploy agent

sudo yum install -y ruby

wget https://aws-codedeploy-us-east-1.s3.amazonaws.com/releases/codedeploy-agent_1.0-1.1597_all.deb

mkdir codedeploy-agent_1.0-1.1597_ubuntu20

dpkg-deb -R codedeploy-agent_1.0-1.1597_all.deb codedeploy-agent_1.0-1.1597_ubuntu20

sed 's/2.0/2.7/' -i ./codedeploy-agent_1.0-1.1597_ubuntu20/DEBIAN/control

dpkg-deb -b codedeploy-agent_1.0-1.1597_ubuntu20

sudo dpkg -i codedeploy-agent_1.0-1.1597_ubuntu20.deb

sudo systemctl start codedeploy-agent

sudo systemctl enable codedeploy-agent

9. Continue in AWS console...
