This page describes a quick way to package, deploy, and start a squbs application. This guide uses Amazon EC2 as an example, showing how to run a squbs application in less than half an hour.
You need to install the following on your build instance
Steps to build:
- Clone the source code from the git repo to the
<project>
directory - cd
<project>
- Run the sbt build command, including "packArchive", such as:
sbt clean update test packArchive
- There are two archives created under
<project>/target
<app>-<version>.tar.gz
<app>-<version>.zip
You need to install the following on your running instance
Steps to run:
- Copy either of the archives to the running instance
<app>-<version>.tar.gz
<app>-<version>.zip
- For example, explode the tarball
tar zxvf <app>-<version>.tar.gz
to the<app>-<version>
directory - start the application
<app>-<version>/bin/run &
- You can check the admin
http://localhost:8080/adm
from that instance, orhttp://<host>:8080/adm
You can terminate the running process, for example, in linux kill $(lsof -ti TCP:8080 | head -1)
Since the application registers a shutdown hook with the JVM, it will shutdown gracefully, unless it is abrupt.
Log into AWS EC2 and launch an instance
- You can create from free-tier, if the capacity meet your needs
- Security group open (inbound) SSH – port 22, Custom TCP Rule – 8080
- SSH into server (see AWS Console -> Instances -> Actions -> Connect)
- Execute step
Start
andShutdown
as described above
