Running a Docker container on AWS Elastic Beanstalk - 502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.6.2

Question

• I have a docker deployed on AWS Elastic Beanstalk - http://paymentsystem-env.elasticbeanstalk.com/ . The application is Java web application .

• It runs about one day and then I get a 502 Bad Gateway from nginx/1.6.2.

• \var\log\nginx\access.log & \var\log\nginx\error.log are empty.

• Dockerrun.aws.json :

{
	"AWSEBDockerrunVersion": "1",
 	"Image": {
		"Name": "kazenguyen/paymentsystem:v1",
		"Update": "true"
	},
	"Ports": [
	{
		"ContainerPort": "8080"
	}
	]
}

The nginx logs don't show anything. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Root cause: - Choose EC instance (t1.micro) is not enough memory to run my webapp, so Glassfish crashes.

Soloution: - Choose EC instance (c1.xlarge) which is more memory than t1.micro.
