Project Overview:

AWS infra using Terraform for Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) using a powerful combination of Jenkins, Ansible, Docker, and GitHub Webhooks, all running on the RHEL9 AMI on AWS cloud platform.
AMI ID used = ami-0b8c2bd77c5e270cf (RHEL-9.6.0_HVM_GA-20250423-x86_64-0-Hourly2-GP3)
Final outcome of this pipeline is as follows:

1. AWS RHEL9.6 EC2
2. AWS components like VPC, SG, NACL, SubNet, RouteTable, IGW etc
3. if the terraform apply works fine you can login to Artifactory using URL http://<AWS_PUBLIC_IP>:8081/artifactory/
4. Default Artifactory id/password as admin/password
5. Below are some commonly used frequently used troubleshooting commands which you can use.

To run this project on your side

expectations

• terraform configured

• github configured

• AWS CLI configured

• Initial manual steps for creating Globally unique S3 bucket and DynamoDB lock table.

✅ Step 1: Create the S3 bucket (if not done already)

aws s3api create-bucket 
--bucket terraform-state-bucket-<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID> 
--region us-east-1

✅ Step 2: Create the DynamoDB locking table (if needed)

  aws dynamodb create-table 
  --table-name terraform-lock-table 
  --attribute-definitions AttributeName=LockID,AttributeType=S 
  --key-schema AttributeName=LockID,KeyType=HASH 
  --provisioned-throughput ReadCapacityUnits=5,WriteCapacityUnits=5

✅ Step 3: Update the actual values in backend.tf: update the correct S3 bucket name.

No need to update anything about terraform-lock-table, because that is already there.

✅ Step 4: Change the value in terraform.tfvars: change the link to your github URL.

be sure to fork this repo into your project first.

✅ Step 5

terraform init

✅ Step 6

Terraform plan <-- if you want to see what will be provisioned on AWS

✅ Step 7

terraform apply <-- be sure to type yes when prompted

✅ Step 8

When done Wait for EC2 instance and artifatory to come up fine on public ip

✅ Step 9

Then kill ec2 and let it come up also fine on new public ip. You can watch github-project-logs in cloud watch under log group

Manual commands to check:

aws s3 ls | grep your-terraform-state-bucket-<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>
aws dynamodb describe-table --table-name my-terraform-locks

docker commands\

docker-compose -f /root/artifactory/docker-compose.yml up -d
docker-compose down -v
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose stats\

NOTE : Do not create the file db.properties. The Artifactory container will create thee file by itself from docker-compose.yml\ /var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/etc/db.properties
