# SSH Into An ECS Container
|
|
|
|
In [Connect To Production Rails Console on AWS /
|
|
Flightcontrol](https://www.visualmode.dev/connect-to-production-rails-console-aws-flightcontrol),
|
|
I went into full detail about how to access `rails console` for a production
|
|
Rails app running in an ECS container.
|
|
|
|
A big part of that process was establishing an SSH connection to the ECS container.
|
|
|
|
To do that, I need to know my region, container ID, and task ID. I can get the
|
|
first two by listing my clusters and finding the cluster/container that houses
|
|
the Rails app.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ aws ecs list-clusters
|
|
{
|
|
"clusterArns": [
|
|
"arn:aws:ecs:us-east-2:123:cluster/rails-app-abc123"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The region then is `us-east-2` and the container ID is `rails-app-abc123`.
|
|
|
|
I can use that to find the task ID:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ aws ecs list-tasks --region us-east-2 --cluster rails-app-abc123
|
|
{
|
|
"taskArns": [
|
|
"arn:aws:ecs:us-east-2:123:task/rails-app-abc123/8526b3191d103bb1ff90c65a655ad004"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The task ID is the final portion of the URL:
|
|
`8526b3191d103bb1ff90c65a655ad004`.
|
|
|
|
Putting this all together I can SSH into the ECS container with a bash profile
|
|
like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ aws ecs execute-command \
|
|
--region us-east-2 \
|
|
--cluster rails-app-abc123 \
|
|
--container rails-app-abc123 \
|
|
--task 8526b3191d103bb1ff90c65a655ad004 \
|
|
--interactive \
|
|
--command "/bin/bash"
|
|
```
