Docker best practices

Hello community,

I am currently deploying docker images in ECS cluster with Fargate compute engine. I want to know why I can't access it from the browser using the public IP. What could I have missed in the configuration? Can I run a multi-container in ECS without an integration with AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

P.S am using published images from docker hub

Thanks in advance.

I do not know how Fargate works, but for docker containers (running local or in a Kubernetes cluster) you need to expose the port you want to access.

I did that and got it working 🙌 thanks thanks

Let me try exposing the port. Thanks

Could you try by exposing the Port that you want to access and also keeping that port open in your Security Group's inbound rules?

Still not working 🤦🏽‍♀️

Would it be possible for you to show the process that you are doing currently in a remote session so that we could go through the steps of the creation of the cluster? Because I tried running an apache image with Fargate and it works.

Before that, you could try a couple of things.

1. Checking if the entire image runs locally without any errors.
2. The subnet you're deploying to is a public subnet.

I got it working. Thank you so much. The issue was subnets and the port. 🙌🙌🙌
