Issue
I am attempting to restrict access to a few backend folders in an elastic beanstalk environment, but I cannot figure out how to set chmod permissions in an existing environment.
I am aware that there may be a way to do this through the .ebextensions file, but I have been unable to find a resource outlining this process.
How do I restrict folder access to folders and files in my elastic beanstalk environment?
Thank you!
Solution
There is a setting you can use in the .ebextenstions file called "files". I haven't tested this with folders though and I am not sure if you can change permissions on already existing files and folders with it.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/customize-containers-ec2.html#linux-files
You could just add a command that does it though.
commands:
01_set_file_permissions:
command: "chmod 600 /path/to/file"
