Elastic beanstalk .ebextensions and .platform files for laravel and nginx

Necassary files to run laravel project correctly with elastic beanstalk and nginx.

How to use it

• Copy .ebextensions and .platform directories in your laravel's project root.
• Open .ebextensions/00_settings.config and fill your elastic beanstalk's configurations, for instance database and URL.
• Open .platform/nginx/conf.d/my-vhost.conf and update the domain names that you use (not needed in case you want to run your application on default URL that elastic beanstalk have created for you).

Optional but helpful

• Following commands can be used to setup permissions or this method can be used to create many other commands

container_commands:
  03_make_storage_writeable:
    command: "chmod -R 775 storage"
    cwd: /var/app/staging
  04_make_bootstrap_cache_writable:
    command: "chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache"
    cwd: /var/app/staging

• One can use below to create shell scripts that will run post deployment

files:
  "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/99_make_storage_writable.sh":
    mode: "000755"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      echo "Making /storage writeable..."
      chmod -R 775 /var/app/current/storage

      if [ ! -f /var/app/current/storage/logs/laravel.log ]; then
          echo "Creating /storage/logs/laravel.log..."
          touch /var/app/current/storage/logs/laravel.log
          chown webapp:webapp /var/app/current/storage/logs/laravel.log
      fi

      if [ ! -d /var/app/current/public/storage ]; then
          echo "Creating /public/storage symlink..."
          ln -s /var/app/current/storage/app/public /var/app/current/public/storage
      fi

• Install some library that exsists in the OS packages

packages: 
  yum:
    epel-release: []
    mod24_ssl: []
