Setting Up Your Bitbucket Repository
Bitbucket is a web-based hosting service for Git and Mercurial version control systems. It provides users with a platform to store, manage and collaborate on their code repositories. The repository structure on Bitbucket is similar to that of other version control systems, but with some additional features specific to Bitbucket. Creating a New Repository: To create a new repository on Bitbucket, follow these steps: 1. Log into your Bitbucket account and click on the 'Create' button in the top right corner. 2. Select the 'Repository' option from the dropdown menu. 3. Choose between creating a Git or Mercurial repository. 4. Give your repository a name, description, and set the access level (private or public). 5. Click on the 'Create repository' button. Your new repository will now be created and you will be taken to its homepage. From here, you can add files, invite collaborators, and perform other actions specific to your repository. Cloning an Existing Repository: To clone an existing repository from Bitbucket, follow these steps: 1. Go to the homepage of the repository you want to clone. 2. Click on the 'Clone' button on the right side of the page. 3. Copy the URL provided in the pop-up window. 4. In your local machine, navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. 5. Use the 'git clone' command followed by the URL you copied in the previous step.
Your local machine will now have a copy of the remote repository from Bitbucket. Preparing Your Code for Deployment: Before deploying your code, it is important to ensure that it is ready for production. Here are some steps you can follow to prepare your code for deployment on Bitbucket: 1. Make sure your code is properly tested and reviewed before pushing it to the repository. 2. Remove any sensitive information such as passwords or API keys from your code and replace them with environment variables. 3. Use a .gitignore file to exclude any unnecessary files from being pushed to the repository. 4. Set up a continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipeline to automate the process of testing and deploying your code. 5. Consider creating separate branches for development and production, so that any changes made to the code can be reviewed before merging into the production branch. By following these steps, you can ensure that your code is well-structured and ready for deployment on Bitbucket. Additionally, Bitbucket offers features such as pipelines and deployment keys to help streamline the process of deployment and continuous integration.
Preparing Your AWS EC2 Instance
1. Log in to your AWS account and go to the AWS EC2 dashboard. 2. Click on "Launch Instance" to start the process of creating a new instance. 3. Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for your instance. You can select from a variety of pre-configured operating systems and software packages. 4. Select the type of instance you want to launch. This will determine the hardware specifications of your instance. 5. Configure the instance details, such as the number of instances, network settings, and storage options. 6. Next, add tags to your instance to help you identify and organize it in the future. 7. On the "Configure Security Group" page, create a new security group or select an existing one. A security group acts as a virtual firewall for your instance, controlling the inbound and outbound traffic. 8. Configure the security group rules to allow access to your instance from your desired network sources. For example, you can allow SSH access from your IP address or allow HTTP access from all IP addresses. 9. Review all the settings and click "Launch" to create your new instance. 10. Once the instance is launched, you will see a confirmation page with the instance ID and other details. You can click on the ID to view more information about your instance. 11. To connect to your instance using SSH, you need the public IP address or DNS name of your instance. Open your preferred terminal application and enter the following command: ssh -i [path_to_key_pair] [username]@[public_IP_address] Replace [path_to_key_pair] with the file path to your key pair (pem or ppk file), [username] with the username for your instance (e.g. ubuntu, ec2-user), and [public_IP_address] with the IP address of your instance. 12. If this is your first time connecting to the instance, you may see a prompt to confirm the authenticity of the host. Type "yes" to continue. 13. You should now be connected to your instance and have access to a command-line interface. 14. You can now configure and manage your instance as needed. Remember to always properly shut down your instance when you are finished using it to avoid unnecessary charges.
Connecting Your Bitbucket Repository to AWS EC2
AWS EC2 allows for easy integration with Bitbucket, a popular code repository platform. This integration allows for seamless deployment of code from Bitbucket to your EC2 instance, making it easier to manage updates and changes to your application. To connect your Bitbucket repository to your AWS EC2 instance, follow these steps: 1. Log into your AWS console and navigate to the EC2 dashboard. 2. Select your EC2 instance and go to the “Connect” tab. 3. Under the “Details” section, note down the Public DNS (IPv4) address of your instance. 4. On your local machine, navigate to your project’s root directory and open the “.git” folder. 5. Edit the “config” file and add the following lines at the end, replacing the [USERNAME] and [REPO_NAME] with your Bitbucket username and repository name respectively: [remote "origin"] url = git@bitbucket.org:[USERNAME]/[REPO_NAME].git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* This will add a new remote named “origin” to your repository which points to your Bitbucket repository. 6. Next, create a new SSH key on your EC2 instance and link it to your Bitbucket account. 7. Copy the public key and add it as an SSH key in your Bitbucket account settings. 8. Back on your EC2 instance, navigate to your project’s root directory and run the following command to clone the repository: git clone git@bitbucket.org:[USERNAME]/[REPO_NAME].git This will clone your Bitbucket repository onto your EC2 instance. 9. You can now push your code updates to your Bitbucket repository, and it will automatically be deployed to your EC2 instance. To test this out, make a small code change, commit and push it to your Bitbucket repository. You should see the changes reflected on your EC2 instance. To configure the connection for automatic deployments, follow these steps: 1. Create a web hook in Bitbucket by going to your repository’s settings > Webhooks > Add webhook. 2. In the URL field, enter the public URL of your EC2 instance, followed by “/deploy”. For example, http://ec2-xx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com/deploy 3. In the “Triggers” section, select “Choose from a full list of triggers” and then select the “Repository push” trigger. 4. Save the webhook. Now, every time you push new code to your Bitbucket repository, it will automatically trigger a deployment to your EC2 instance. You can also customize the deployment process by creating a script or using a tool like CodeDeploy to handle the deployment process. This will allow you to specify any additional steps that need to be performed during deployment, such as running database migrations or restarting services on your EC2 instance.
Pulling Your Repository from Bitbucket into EC2
The pull command in Git allows you to retrieve updates or changes from a remote repository and merge them into your local repository. This allows you to keep your local repository up-to-date with the latest changes made by other team members or collaborators. To pull your repository from Bitbucket into your AWS EC2 instance, follow these steps: 1. Connect to your EC2 instance using SSH. 2. Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. 3. Use the `git init` command to initialize an empty Git repository in that directory. 4. Next, use the `git remote add origin` command to add the URL of your Bitbucket repository as the remote origin. 5. Now, use the `git pull` command to pull down the latest changes from the remote repository into your local repository. Once the pull command is executed, you will see the changes being downloaded and merged into your local repository. To verify that your code has been successfully pulled, you can use the `git status` command which will show you the current state of your local repository. If the pull was successful, you should see a message stating that your local repository is up-to-date with the remote repository. It is recommended to always pull any changes before starting to work on your local repository to avoid any conflicts with other collaborators' code. Pulling also ensures that your local repository is always up-to-date with the latest changes and fixes made in the remote repository.
