We will use the following tools: - [AWS EC2](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) - [Apache](https://httpd.apache.org/) ## [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) To follow this tutorial, you will need: - An AWS account - An AWS EC2 instance Note You can follow this tutorial to create an [AWS EC2 instance Using AWS CLI](/blog/post/how-to-create-an-aws-ec2-instance-using-aws-cli) without using user data, or you can create an AWS EC2 instance using the AWS console. ## [Setup and configure Docker to run an Apache web server on an AWS EC2 instance](#setup-and-configure-docker-to-run-an-apache-web-server-on-an-aws-ec2-instance) ### [Step 1: install Docker on the AWS EC2 instance](#step-1-install-docker-on-the-aws-ec2-instance) Before we can install Docker on the AWS EC2 instance, we need to update the package list. Terminal window ``` 1sudo yum update -y ``` Then, we need to install Docker on the AWS EC2 instance. Terminal window ``` 1sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker -y ``` ### [Step 2: start the Docker service](#step-2-start-the-docker-service) After installing Docker on the AWS EC2 instance, we need to start the Docker service. Terminal window ``` 1sudo service docker start ``` ### [Step 3: add the `ec2-user` to the Docker group](#step-3-add-the-ec2-user-to-the-docker-group) Try to run the following command to check if the Docker service is running. Terminal window ``` 1docker info ``` Explanation: - `docker info` - This command will show the information about the Docker service. If you get the following error: Terminal window ``` 1Client:2 Context: default3 Debug Mode: false4 5Server:6 ERROR: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?7errors pretty printing info ``` Then, you need to add the `ec2-user` to the Docker group. Terminal window ``` 1sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user ``` Exit the SSH session and reconnect to the AWS EC2 instance. After reconnecting to the AWS EC2 instance, try to run the following command again. Terminal window ``` 1docker info ``` If you get the following output: Terminal window ``` 1Client:2 Context: default3 Debug Mode: false4 5Server:6 Containers: 07 Running: 08 Paused: 09 Stopped: 010 Images: 011 Server Version: 20.10.1712 Storage Driver: overlay213 Backing Filesystem: xfs14 Supports d_type: true15 Native Overlay Diff: true16 userxattr: false17 Logging Driver: json-file18 Cgroup Driver: cgroupfs19 Cgroup Version: 120 Plugins:21 Volume: local22 Network: bridge host ipvlan macvlan null overlay23 Log: awslogs fluentd gcplogs gelf journald json-file local logentries splunk syslog24 Swarm: inactive25 Runtimes: io.containerd.runc.v2 io.containerd.runtime.v1.linux runc26 Default Runtime: runc27 Init Binary: docker-init28 containerd version: 10c12954828e7c7c9b6e0ea9b0c02b01407d3ae129 runc version: 1e7bb5b773162b57333d57f612fd72e3f8612d9430 init version: de40ad031 Security Options:32 seccomp33 Profile: default34 Kernel Version: 5.10.144-127.601.amzn2.x86_6435 Operating System: Amazon Linux 236 OSType: linux37 Architecture: x86_6438 CPUs: 139 Total Memory: 964.8MiB40 Name: ip-172-31-95-171.ec2.internal41 ID: VWQG:27RB:ARKI:V77B:34E2:BRGC:6DDJ:EKSF:VUQP:TX5G:UXVF:Q44442 Docker Root Dir: /var/lib/docker43 Debug Mode: false44 Registry: https://index.docker.io/v1/45 Labels:46 Experimental: false47 Insecure Registries:48 127.0.0.0/849 Live Restore Enabled: false ``` Then, you have successfully installed Docker on the AWS EC2 instance. ### [Step 4: run the Apache web server using Docker](#step-4-run-the-apache-web-server-using-docker) First, we need to pull the Apache image from Docker Hub. Terminal window ``` 1docker pull httpd ``` Explanation: - `docker pull` - Pull an image or a repository from a registry like [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/), or from a private registry like [AWS ECR](https://aws.amazon.com/ecr/). Then, we need to run the Apache web server using Docker. Terminal window ``` 1docker run -dit --name apache -p 80:80 httpd ``` Explanation: - `docker run` - Run a command in a new container. - `-dit` - Run the container in the background (`-d`), keep STDIN open (`-i`), and allocate a pseudo-TTY (`-t`). - `--name` - Assign a name to the container. - `-p` - Publish a container’s port(s) to the host. - `httpd` - The image name. ### [Step 5: test the Apache web server](#step-5-test-the-apache-web-server) To test the Apache web server, we need to get the public IP address of the AWS EC2 instance. Terminal window ``` 1curl http://PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS ``` Or, we can use the private IP address of the AWS EC2 instance. Terminal window ``` 1curl http://PRIVATE_IP_ADDRESS ``` If you get the following output: Terminal window ``` 1

It works!

``` Then, the Apache web server is running successfully. ### [Step 6: edit the web page in the Docker container](#step-6-edit-the-web-page-in-the-docker-container) To edit the web page, we need to open the `index.html` file, in the `/usr/local/apache2/htdocs` directory. Before we can edit the `index.html` file, we need to get the container ID of the Apache container. Terminal window ``` 1docker ps ``` Explanation: - `docker ps` - List containers. Then, we need to open the Docker container. Terminal window ``` 1docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash ``` Explanation: - `docker exec` - Run a command in a running container. - `-it` - Keep STDIN open and allocate a pseudo-TTY, so the shell is interactive. - `CONTAINER_ID` - The container ID. - `/bin/bash` - The command to run. Then, we need to open the `index.html` file, in the `/usr/local/apache2/htdocs` directory. Terminal window ``` 1vi /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html ``` If you get the following output: Terminal window ``` 1bash: vi: command not found ``` Then, you need to install the `vi` editor. Terminal window ``` 1# update the package list2apt-get update -y3 4# upgrade the packages5apt-get upgrade -y6 7# install the vi editor8apt-get install -y vim ``` Then, we need to open the `index.html` file, in the `/usr/local/apache2/htdocs` directory. Terminal window ``` 1vi /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html ``` Then, we need to add the following content to the `index.html` file. ``` 12 3

Hello World!

4 5 ``` Then, we need to save the `index.html` file. Terminal window ``` 1:wq ``` Then, we need to exit the Docker container. Terminal window ``` 1exit ``` Then, we need to refresh the web page. Terminal window ``` 1curl http://PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS ``` If you get the following output: Terminal window ``` 12 3

Hello World!

4 5 ``` Then, the web page has been updated successfully. ### [Step 7: stop the Docker container](#step-7-stop-the-docker-container) To stop the Docker container, we need to get the container ID of the Apache container. Terminal window ``` 1# To get the Docker container ID2docker ps3 4# To stop the Apache web server5docker stop CONTAINER_ID6 7# Or, you can use the container name8docker stop apache ``` Or, you can stop all the Docker containers using the following command. Terminal window ``` 1docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) ``` Explanation: - `docker ps` - List containers. - `docker stop` - Stop one or more running containers. ### [Step 8: restart the Docker container](#step-8-restart-the-docker-container) To restart the Docker container by using the container name, we need to run the following command. Terminal window ``` 1docker start apache ``` Explanation: - `docker start` - Start one or more stopped containers. ### [Step 9: remove the Docker container](#step-9-remove-the-docker-container) To remove the Docker container, we need to get the container ID of the Apache container. Terminal window ``` 1# To get the Docker container ID2docker ps -a3 4# To remove the Apache web server5docker rm CONTAINER_ID6 7# Or, you can use the container name8docker rm apache ``` Or, you can remove all the Docker containers using the following command. Terminal window ``` 1docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) ``` Explanation: - `docker ps` - List containers. - `docker rm` - Remove one or more containers. ### [Step 10: remove the Docker image](#step-10-remove-the-docker-image) To remove the Docker image, we need to get the image ID of the Apache image. Terminal window ``` 1# To get the Docker image ID2docker images3 4# To remove the Apache web server5docker rmi IMAGE_ID6 7# Or, you can use the image name8docker rmi httpd ``` Or, you can remove all the Docker images using the following command. Terminal window ``` 1docker rmi $(docker images -q) ``` Explanation: - `docker images` - List images. - `docker rmi` - Remove one or more images. ## [Conclusion](#conclusion) In this post, we learned how to run an Apache web server using Docker on an AWS EC2 instance.
