Starting a stopped application

If you configured your application to stop automatically:

environments:
  staging:
    stop:
      cron: "0 18 * * ? *"

you can start it manually using DevOpsBox CLI or a CodeBuild "Build project".

DevOpsBox CLI

Using DevOpsBox CLI to start your application is as simple as:

devopsbox start devopsbox-io/example-backend-app --environment dev

You need DevOpsBox CLI installed and configured before.

CodeBuild

You can use CodeBuild to start you application:

  • First you have to find and select the CodeBuild service in the AWS console:

    Find AWS CodeBuild service

  • Then you have to find and select an appropriate "Build project". The name starts with your application's name ( e.g. devopsbox-io-example-backend-app) and environment name (e.g. dev) followed by "start", all the . and / characters replaced are with -:

    Find AWS CodeBuild project

  • Then you have to click the "Start build" button:

    AWS CodeBuild start build

  • And wait...
