Change docker-compose build and run command

[ngohuytrieu]

Hi, I am using AWS ELB (docker) for my production website and I am running into this stuck for days.

I need to custom a docker-compose build and run command into something like

docker-compose build --build-arg TARGET_ENV='dev'
docker-compose up -d

but couldn't get it to work. Please help

Here are solutions that I tried:

1. Configuration file with container_command .ebextensions/myapp.config

container_commands:
  01_build:
    command: "docker-compose build --build-arg TARGET_ENV='dev'"
  02_start:
    command: "docker-compose up -d"

2. Predeploy script
   • .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml

     option_settings:
     aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:predeploy:
     - source: predeploy.sh
     destination: /opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/pre
     runas: root

   • .ebextensions/predeploy.sh

#!/bin/bash

# if a command fails, the script will stop running and exit immediately
set -e

# Set execute permission on the script
chmod +x predeploy.sh

# Build the Docker image
docker-compose build --build-arg TARGET_ENV="dev"

# Start the containers
docker-compose up -d

So turns out, AWS ELB (docker) doesn't support customizing a run and build command on the Managed platform type You have to change to the Custom platform type in order to customize a run and build command.
