Action Summary

This GitHub Action, bitovi/github-actions-deploy-docker-to-ec2, automates the deployment of Docker-based applications to AWS EC2 instances. It provisions the necessary AWS resources, installs Docker, and runs docker compose up to deploy the application. By streamlining the deployment process, it solves the complexity of manually setting up infrastructure and running Docker applications on EC2, while offering features like resource uniqueness and optional backup retention for efficient management.

Release notes

What’s Changed

  • Added docker_backup_retention, allowing cleanup of old backups. Set the number of backups to keep, defaults to unlimited.
  • Fixed some bugs related to certificate handling. Specifically, dependencies and first-time root-cert creation.
  • ⚠️ aws_elb_access_log_bucket_name was not being set correctly, hence it was set to a fixed value, ignoring input.
  • Added ALB with WAF option - Including priorities for rules and the possibility to add your own.
