This document provides instructions for deploying a Play Framework application on an Amazon EC2 virtual server. It describes installing the Java Development Kit (JDK), setting up Typesafe Activator, and creating and deploying a Play application. Specifically, it outlines adding the Java PPA, installing Oracle JDK8, downloading and extracting Activator, adding the Activator bin path to bashrc, generating a new Play project, and starting the application with lowered heap memory settings due to the limited RAM of the EC2 instance.
Play Framework in EC2
- 1. Setting up Play Framework Deploying Play Framework in EC2 - part # 3 Kamarul kawnayeen
- 2. Preface This is the final part of deploying playframework in EC2 tutorial series. At part one, I showed how to setup a virtual server. At part two, I setup lamp stack on that virtual server. In this part, I’ll show how to deploy a play application. It will require following steps:- ➢ Install Java Development Kit (jdk) ➢ Setup typesafe activator ➢ Create & deploy play application
- 4. Connect with your remote server using terminal & use the following two command - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y sudo apt-get update
- 5. now, use sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer -y hit enter to agree with the java license
- 6. Select “<Yes>” to install oracle jdk Once you are done, use the following command to check java version java -version
- 8. create a directory for activator and go there sudo mkdir /usr/share/activator cd /usr/share/activator now download activator using the following command sudo wget http://downloads.typesafe.com/typesafe-activator/1.3.2/typesafe-activator-1.3.2.zip
- 10. install unzip sudo apt-get install unzip now unzip the activator sudo unzip typesafe-activator-1.3.2.zip
- 11. now, sudo chmod -R a+x activator-1.3.2 open bash.bashrc using nano sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc
- 12. Add this line at the end of the file
- 13. now either restart your virtual machine or use “source .bashrc” go to the directory where you want to create your application and type “activator new”
- 14. select “play-java” and then enter application name
- 15. As we are working on a free t2 micro instance & we have only 1 GiB of Ram, so we must face problem in starting the play application. An easy work around is lowering the heap memory. So first set initial heap size to 128 M & max heap size to 512 M by the following command export _JAVA_OPTIONS=”-Xms128m -Xmx512m” then use the following activator start
- 16. once the application started, go to your browser & type {ip_address_of_your_virtual_machine}:9000 and hit enter All praises and thanks be to Allah, the lord of ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists) (Al-Fatihah : 2)
