Can you run a rails console or rake command in the elastic beanstalk environment?

Question

I have set up a RoR environement on AWS\' elastic beanstalk. I am able to ssh into my EC2 instance. My home directory is /home/ec2-user, which is effective

Answer 1

I like to create an eb_console file at the root of my rails app, then chmod u+x it. It contains the following:

ssh -t ec2-user@YOUR_EC2_STATION.compute.amazonaws.com  'cd /var/app/current && bin/rails c'

This way, I just have to run:

./eb_console

like I would have run heroku run bundle exec rails c.
