Issue
So I have a docker container running jenkins and an EC2 registry on AWS. I would like to have jenkins push containers back to the EC2 registry.
To do this, I would like to be able to automate the aws configure and get login steps on container startup. I figured that I would be able to
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=*
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=*
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
export AWS_DEFAULT_OUTPUT=json
Which I expected to cause aws configure to complete automatically, but that did not work. I then tried creating configs as per the AWS docs and repeating the process, which also did not work. I then tried using aws configure set also with no luck.
I'm going bonkers here, what am I doing wrong?
Solution
No real need to issue aws configure instead as long as you populate env vars
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=aaaa
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=bbbb
... also export zone and region
then issue
aws ecr get-login --region ${AWS_REGION}
you will achieve the same desired aws login status ... as far as troubleshooting I suggest you remote login into your running container instance using
docker exec -ti CONTAINER_ID_HERE bash
then manually issue above aws related commands interactively to confirm they run OK before putting same into your Dockerfile
