You can use this repository in different ways depending on whether you are starting from scratch or if you have existing content and just need to deploy it.

To create a new website

  1. Fork this repository into a repository for your website, and clone that repository locally
  2. Put your content into the public directory, replacing the dummy web page with your own content
  3. Configure your service name, content region and default stage name in config in package.json
  4. Optional Create a Hosted Zone in Route53 for your desired domain name or an ancestor domain (you might already have this)
  5. Deploy your website, either using npm or by calling the AWS CLI directly (see Configuration and Operation)

To automate deployment of an existing website

  1. Copy the cloudformation templates and the scripts and config in package.json into your existing repository
  2. If your content is not in a top-level public directory, you can modify the script with key deploy:content in package.json
  3. Configure your service name, content region and default stage name in config in package.json
  4. Optional Create a Hosted Zone in Route53 for your desired domain name or an ancestor domain (you might already have this); delete any existing DNS records that will conflict
