eb-py-flask-signup

This Python sample application uses the Flask framework and Bootstrap to build a simple, scalable customer signup form that is deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. The application stores data in Amazon DynamoDB and publishes notifications to the Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) when a customer fills out the form.

Instructional Videos

This app includes a quick 3-part video series on YouTube that will walk you through deploying, using, and customizing the application in 10 minutes or less.

Features

Themes

The code includes several Bootstrap themes from bootswatch.com. You can dynamically change the active theme by setting the THEME environment variable in the Elastic Beanstalk Management Console:

Installed themes include:

• amelia
• default
• flatly
• slate
• united

Flask Debugging

Similar to themes, you can control Flask debugging by toggling the FLASK_DEBUG env var from the Elastic Beanstalk Management Console.

eb-py-flask-signup's Issues

release `eb-py-flask-signup-1.1.0.zip` fails to deploy

The error I get is:

 2014-11-05 13:18:43 UTC-0500   ERROR   Your WSGIPath refers to a file that does not exist.

Any suggestions about what I should update to make it work? From the Config pane I see WSGIPath: application.py (which is not set anywhere in the .zip file, so I assume it's a system-wide default).

Looking at the logs, I see the contents of the .zip ultimately end up in /opt/python/current/app/ right?

 [:error]Target WSGI script not found or unable to stat: /opt/python/current/app/application.py

From this I'm guessing this setting in .ebextensions/setup.config is not right:

   "aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment":
      "APP_CONFIG": "/var/app/app.config"

In general, I think it might be a good idea to generate a new release .zip file for people to play with. EB seems like awesome technology!

Help needed, I'm new to Github and AWS :(

static files

How would you configure the nginx proxy to serve static files in Docker container type where you don't have the aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles?

Your requirements.txt is invalid. Snapshot your logs for details.

Hello there, I am trying to deploy my django app on AWS EB. I am getting an error "Your requirements.txt is invalid. Snapshot your logs for details."

Here is the screenshot of the log:

I looked at this thread also, and changed encoding to ANSI but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Missing `VOLUME`? - docker branch

On the docker branch's readme - also in the actual file in the project - the Dockerun.aws.json declares a volume to be mounted:

   "Volumes": [
     {
       "ContainerDirectory": "/var/app",
       "HostDirectory": "/var/app"
     }
   ],

However I failed to find a VOLUME ["/var/app"] line in the Dockerfile, that would allow the above mount to happen.
