pingdummy

A dummy healthcheck app deployed via the Segment Stack.

Bootstrap the app

First you can set up the initial DB tables correctly by using:

$ node db/setup.js

Next you will need to set up an SES identity so the app can send out emails:

$ node ops/setup.js

Terraform setup

If you don't have ssh keys in AWS, you can create them using:

$ make keys

Next you'll want to set up an S3 bucket as a way to manage the terraform state remotely.

$ make bucket BUCKET=<bucket-name>

Anyone who is making changes to terraform will then want to configure terraform to pull from the remote state.

$ make remote BUCKET=<bucket-name>

After that, terraform is configured and ready to run against the remote state. Assuming you have your AWS credentials exported, you can simply run

$ make plan    # see changes
$ make apply   # apply the changes

If you created keys using make keys, you will want to copy them to bastion in order to be able to ssh to other machines, First grab the bastion host public ip using terraform output:

bastion_ip = x.x.x.x

Next copy the keys to the bastion:

$ make copy-key IP=x.x.x.x
