Accessing a Couchbase Server in a private subnet in AWS VPC

architbaweja · January 6, 2017, 7:30am

Hey all,

I have a Couchbase cluster, setup in a AWS VPC. The cluster is setup in EC2 instances, that are in a private subnet of the VPC, without direct access to the internet. I have a public subnet in the VPC, where I host a bastion EC2 instance that I can “jump off” to do SSH based access to my EC2 instances. This allows me to connect to the EC2 instances in the private subnet via SSH to run administration tasks.

However sometimes I’d like to access a web console as well, to do Views administration, for example. My current approach is to setup a SSH tunnel to the bastion host, and then configure my network settings (SOCKS proxy) to use that tunnel to access the couchbase web console. However setting this up can be cumbersome, if I do it often.

Is there a better recipe for this situation? Does anyone have this problem? How do you guys solve this?

## Couchbase by Example: Deploy Digital Ocean

So far, you have been running Sync Gateway and perhaps Couchbase Server locally to follow the tutorials. Now it's time to learn how to easily deploy both applications and perhaps an App Server sitting alongside Sync Gateway to a PaaS.

You will use the Docker images for Sync Gateway and [Couchbase Server](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/couchbase/server/) available in the Docker registry.

Then, you will create a `Dockerfile` for a NodeJS app that imports data from the Google Places API to Sync Gateway. The NodeJS app is taken from the `04-ios-sync-progress-indicator` tutorial.

## Why Docker?

If you've ever done any application development and deployment then you know how difficult it can be to ensure that your development and production servers are the same or at least similar enough that it is not causing any major issue.

With docker, you can build a container that houses everything you need to configure your application dependencies and services.

This container can then be shared and run on any server or computer without having to do a whole bunch of setup and configuration.
