I am attempting to create a launch template in aws with the following in the user data
#!/bin/bash
home=/home/ec2-user
nodev='8.11.2'
nvmv='0.33.11'
#install node
su - ec2-user -c "curl
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v${nvmv}/install.sh | bash"
su - ec2-user -c "nvm install ${nodev}"
su - ec2-user -c "nvm use ${nodev}"
# install git
yum install git -y
#clone the code
cd /home/ec2-user
su - ec2-user -c "git clone https://github.com/xyz/xdf.git"
cd /home/ec2-user/xdf
#install dependencies
su - ec2-user -c "npm install"
echo "test" > test.txt
#install pm2
su - ec2-user -c "npm install pm2 -g"
#run the server
su - ec2-user -c "pm2 run index.js"
The script is being executed and the repo is cloned but the npm install command is running on the dir /home/ec2-user rather than on /home/ec2-user/xdf. The test.txt is created in the correct place ie inside /home/ec2-user/xdf. How do I get npm install to run on /home/ec2-user/xdf. I tried just running npm install
instead of su - ec2-user -c "npm install"
, but it still giving the same results.
First of all userdata
is running with root
user permissions so you don't need to have sudo
or su
there. In case you want ec2-user
to be owner of that dir so simply execute chown ec2-user:ec2-user /path/to/dir
Next, when you run su - ec2-user -c ...
it is executed in /home/ec2-user
dir and cd /home/ec2-user/xdf
is not working here. Simply remove all su
from your script
