S3 Website Deployment

A simple project to deploy a static website to S3. Also includes nginx docker hosting of files with SSL and a gulp watcher.

Currently the src directory of this project is my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu website, but it could be forked to create any static website we wanted to host on S3.

Uses terraform for infrastructure, and openssl to generate dev SSL certs for testing. Nothing needs to be installed locally except docker and docker-compose, since everything is done in docker containers.

To run locally:

• Clone the repo
• run make local_dev to get a dev server running locally. This will generate dev certs, set up a gulp watcher and start an nginx server hosting the contents of src.
• visit https://0.0.0.0
• Make all the changes you want.

To deploy

• You need to already have a AWS Route53 Hosted Zone set up for your domain.
• Modify terraform.tfvars to appropriate values for your domain.
• If you have an ACM cert for the domain, and would like to use SSL, set use_acm to true and it will set up a cloudfront distribution with SSL redirect.
• Create a secrets.auto.tfvars and set your aws_access_key and awsaws_secret_key with your credentials.
• run make init to generate dev ssl certs and initialize terraform.
• Update terraform/terraform.tfvars to set your domain name (no need for the www)
• run ./build.sh deploy to create your aws resources and deploy

Terraform

The build script allows you to run arbitrary terraform commands like so. ./build.sh tf <command> <args>. For example ./build.sh show would show all the resources that exist.
