aws-botkit

Botkit running on AWS ECS Fargate

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the following in place

• An AWS CLI Account (Admin)
  • Instructions
• A working version of the AWS CLI on your local computer
  • Instructions
• Docker running on your local computer
  • Instructions

Note: We will be using "us-east-1" for this example. If you would like to use a different region, make sure Fargate is available in the region.

Deployment

Setup all of your variables

# Set the region variable
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1

# Set your Account ID variable
export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --output text --query 'Account')

# Set your repo name / bot name
export IMAGE_REPO_NAME=yourBotNameGoesHere

# Set your tag for the repo (ie. 1.0.0)
export IMAGE_TAG=yourTagGoesHere

# Set your Stack Name
export STACK_NAME=yourStackNameGoesHere

Amazon Secrets Manager

• Create a secrets.json file for use with AWS Secrets Manager

{
    "slackToken": "yourTokenGoesHere"
}

• Create a new secret in the AWS Secret Manager

aws secretsmanager --region $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION create-secret --name $IMAGE_REPO_NAME \
    --description $IMAGE_REPO_NAME" Secrets" \
    --secret-string file://secrets.json

• Verify that the secret was created successfully

aws secretsmanager --region $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION get-secret-value --secret-id $IMAGE_REPO_NAME

Amazon Elastic Container Registry

• Create an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)

aws ecr create-repository --repository-name $IMAGE_REPO_NAME

• Build your Docker Image

docker build -t $IMAGE_REPO_NAME:$IMAGE_TAG .

• Tag your image

docker tag $IMAGE_REPO_NAME:$IMAGE_TAG $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_DEFAULT_REGION.amazonaws.com/$IMAGE_REPO_NAME:$IMAGE_TAG

• Log into Amazon ECR

export AWS_ECR_LOGIN=$(aws ecr get-login --no-include-email) && $AWS_ECR_LOGIN

• Now you can push your image to Amazon ECR

docker push $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_DEFAULT_REGION.amazonaws.com/$IMAGE_REPO_NAME:$IMAGE_TAG

Amazon Elastic Container Service

• Deploy our basic stack using a CloudFormation template

aws cloudformation deploy --stack-name=$STACK_NAME --template-file=aws/chatops-stack.yml --parameter-overrides 
ServiceName=$IMAGE_REPO_NAME ImageTag=$IMAGE_TAG --capabilities=CAPABILITY_IAM

Testing Locally

docker run -it -e slackToken=yourTokenGoesHere $IMAGE_REPO_NAME:$IMAGE_TAG bash
npm start
