How to deploy a python docker image to AWS Elastic beanstalk?

Question

I received a python docker image that works perfectly in local. All I need to do is enter docker-compose up to run the app on localhost.

However, this is a completely different story when it comes to deploy it on AWS Elastic beanstalk and I am struggling since many hours to make it works.

Here is the Dockerfile

FROM python:3.6-stretch

WORKDIR /app

COPY . /app

RUN pip3 --no-cache-dir install -r requirements.txt

EXPOSE 5000

ENTRYPOINT [ "python" ]

CMD [ "app.py" ]

then I've build the image by entering docker build . and I compress the folder.

On AWS I create a "python docker" application and I upload my zip file. AWS deploy my application successfully and the health color is green but when I click on the app URL I get a internal error message. I don't see any error in the bundleLogs.

I can't find the solution to deploy my docker image to AWS elastic beanstalk without issues.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks

It is quite easy, and there is very good guiding material on AWS:
