Version error in AWS Elastic beanstalk for Multicontainer Docker Configuration

Question

Trying to link mysql with phabricator in Elastic beanstalk with help of dockerrun.aws.json file as shown below.

But it sows error as

[Instance: i-cdbaf100 Module: AWSEBAutoScalingGroup ConfigSet: null] 
Command failed on instance. 
Return code: 1 
Output: Invalid Dockerrun.aws.json version, abort deployment. 
Hook /opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/pre/03build.sh failed. 
For more detail, check /var/log/eb-activity.log using console or EB CLI.

Can someone please help in resolving this?

Here is the Dockerfile.aws.json file:

{
  "AWSEBDockerrunVersion": 2,
  "containerDefinitions": [
    {
      "name": "mysql-database",
      "image": "mysql",
      "essential": true,
      "memory": 400
    },
    {
      "name": "phabricator-only",
      "image": "yesnault/docker-phabricator-alone",
      "essential": true,
      "memory": 400,
           "portMappings": [
        {
          "hostPort": 80,
          "containerPort": 80
        }
      ],
      "links": [
        "mysql-database"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Answer 1

If you get the error "Invalid Dockerrun.aws.json version, abort deployment. " it's also possible that you're not using the correct Solution Stack.

In my case I was using the Single Container Solution Stack and I should have been using the Multicontainer Solution Stack. Once I configured my environment to use the Multicontainer Solution Stack this error went away.

A list of Solution Stacks can be found here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/concepts.platforms.html#concepts.platforms.docker

Answer 2

You have to select multi-container type when creating your environment. May require deleting and creating new environment as upgrading from single-container is not available right now.

Make sure it says "running Multi-container Docker" on Dashboard under Configuration.

Answer 3

The OP javvaji kiran adds in the comments :

The service was not available for the location which I selected.
But service are available in other locations

Original answer:

It depends on the error message you have, but note that all values of a Dockerrun.aws.json are normally in double quotes.

{
  "AWSEBDockerrunVersion": "1",
  "Image": {
    "Name": "janedoe/image",
    "Update": "true"
  },
  "Ports": [
    {
      "ContainerPort": "1234"
    }
  ],
....

Check if the error persists after adding double-quotes in your own Dockerrun.aws.json

That said, the exact error message is:

Activity execution failed, because: Invalid Dockerrun.aws.json version

See this source :

# Dockerrun.aws.json verson checking
# right now only one valid version "1"
if [ -f Dockerrun.aws.json ]; then
    [ "`cat Dockerrun.aws.json | jq -r .AWSEBDockerrunVersion`" = "1" ] || error_exit "Invalid Dockerrun.aws.json version, abort deployment" 1
fi

So try with "AWSEBDockerrunVersion": "1",

Also, I don't see "links" in the Valid keys and values for the Dockerrun.aws.json file .
