Dive into the world of headless CMS with our latest tutorial: "Automating Strapi Deployment on AWS." This comprehensive video guide is designed for developers and DevOps professionals looking to streamline their content management processes using Strapi, the leading open-source headless CMS, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the most robust and scalable cloud platforms.
Automation of Strapi App Deployment on AWS
This project automates the deployment process of a Strapi app on AWS EC2 using Terraform, Python, and Bash scripting. This Automation Project follows the steps
Prerequisites
**Packages**: Python3, Git, Terraform
**Strapi App**:
You need to have a Strapi app hosted on GitHub.
If you don't have the app, you can create a Strapi project using the Strapi Quickstart and push it to the GitHub. Run the following command to create a Strapi app:
```bash
npx create-strapi-app@latest my-project --quickstart
```
**AWS Account**:
An AWS account with the necessary permissions to create EC2 instances, RDS databases, and S3 buckets.
Automation Steps
1. Clone the Repository
Clone the Strapi app repository on your development machine.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/VinayakSingoriya/S...
cd Strapi-Automation
```
2. Create a Private-Public Key Pair
Generate an SSH Key pair on development machine.
```bash
ssh-keygen
```
3. Update Terraform Variables
Create a terraform.tfvars file and provide the necessary key-value pairs based on your AWS environment and Strapi app configuration.
```
Region and Access Credentials
region = ""
access_key = ""
secret_key = ""
Instance Information
instance_type = "t2.small"
image_name = "ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-jammy-22.04-amd64-server-*"
Key-Pair
key_name = ""
private_key_path = ""
public_key_path = ""
EC2 Security Group
instance_security_group_name = ""
inbound_ports = [80, 443, 22, 1337]
AWS RDS Security Group
db_security_group_name = ""
AWS RDS Configuration
db_username = ""
db_password = ""
#path
project_root_path = "" # set the root path of the Strapi project (which is on development machine)
terraform_root_path = "" # set the root path of the Terraform code (which is on development machine)
Git Credentials
git clone https://$GIT_USERNAME:[email protected]/your_username/your_repo.git
gitUsername = "" # GIT_USERNAME
gitPassword = "" # GIT_PASSWORD
your_username = ""
your_repo = ""
```
4. Terraform Initialization
Run the following commands to initialize Terraform and plan the infrastructure.
```bash
terraform init
terraform plan
```
5. Start the Automation Process
You can start the automation process by running the following command:
```bash
terraform apply --auto-approve
```
Use the *--auto-approve* flag to automatically apply changes without user intervention.
At the end of the automation process, the terraform will provide the Access points of the following:
AWS RDS Endpoints
AWS S3 Endpoints
AWS EC2 Public IP
You can access the Strapi App using the public IP of the AWS EC2 machine.
