Generate ".env" when Deploying with Bitbucket AWS CodeDeploy add-on

Question

How to generate ".env" when Deploying with Bitbucket AWS CodeDeploy add-on?

I see bitbucket-pipelines.yml can generate .env from bitbucket environment variables, but, how tie it up with Bitbucket AWS CodeDeploy add-on?

appspec.yml - can trigger script on deployment but how can I make it get .env from bitbucket environment variables?

Answer 1

BitBucket should not create .env, this service should know nothing about production .env. Instead the production .env should sit on secure AWS S3 bucket where only AWS CodeDeploy scripts can take it and put on the instance.

it would be copied like this

sudo aws --region us-east-2 s3 cp "s3://${S3_NAME}/prod.env" "${EC2_DIRECTORY}/.env"
