Finding AMIs after building an image with Packer

Finding Packer-generated AMIs automatically after builds

The basic technique is to have Packer add a tag with a unique value during the build, and use AWS' built-in filtering capabilities to find that specific AMI after the build finishes.

  • template.json - Shows the settings that need to be added to your template
  • build.sh - Shows how to use the template to do a build and retrieve the AMI information

# This can be useful within bootstrapping scripts ("user-data").

# Note the EC3 instance needs to have an IAM role that lets it read tags. The policy

Nginx ssl config

The process starts by creating the CSR and the private key:

openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout dotmarks.net.key -out dotmarks.net.csr -subj "/C=GB/ST=London/L=London/O=dotmarks/OU=IT/CN=dotmarks.net"

Generates

  • dotmarks.net.key
  • dotmarks.net.csr

Best nginx configuration for improved security(and performance)
# to generate your dhparam.pem file, run in the terminal
openssl dhparam -out /etc/nginx/ssl/dhparam.pem 2048

Steps to install a Comodo PositiveSSL certificate with Nginx.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
