Laravel AWS SSH

Laravel AWS SSH Client for Log Tailing and Other using Instance ID's and Elastic Beanstalk Applications Names/Environments.

Purpose

I found a need to want to SSH and tail logs from my EC2 Instances and Elastic Beanstalk Applications. I figured this would be an easier way to do so when working within a Laravel project thanks to Laravel 4.1 and the remoting functionality.

Long Term Goals

Eventually I'll create a SSH-type Facade that allows for being able to SSH into EC2 instances (or Elastic Beanstalk instances) and run commands through it.

Installation

With composer, simply add "atyagi/laravel-aws-ssh": "dev-master" to your composer.json.

Once composer update is ran, add

'Atyagi\LaravelAwsSsh\Providers\LaravelAwsSshServiceProvider',

to the providers array in app/config.php.

At this point, you should see eb:tail and ec2:tail available for use.

Versions

dev-master -- Stable release version
dev-dev -- Generally stable, but still the main development branch
tags -- see Packagist (https://packagist.org/packages/atyagi/laravel-aws-ssh) for specific tagged versions. Most releases to master get tagged.

Usage

Run Artisan commands as follows:

Elastic Beanstalk

For tailing Elastic Beanstalk environments logs:

php artisan eb:tail [-u|--user[="..."]] [--keyFile[="..."]] env logFile

where:

u is the user to SSH as (defaults to config value)
keyFile is the key file location (defaults to key path value in config)
env is the Environment name
logFile is the absolute path of the log file location

EC2

For tailing logs on EC2 Instances:

php artisan ec2:tail [-u|--user[="..."]] [--keyFile[="..."]] instanceId logFile

where:

u is the user to SSH as (defaults to config value)
keyFile is the key file location (defaults to key path value in config)
instanceId is the EC2 Instance ID
logFile is the absolute path of the log file location
