app init command

$ ecs-preview app init

What does it do?

ecs-preview app init creates a new CLI app for you.

After running this command, the CLI creates sub-directory with your app name in your local ecs-project. And you'll see a manifest file in it. Feel free to update your manifest file to change the default configs for your app. The CLI also sets up an ECR repo with a policy for all environments to be able to pull from it. Then, your app gets registered to AWS System Manager Parameter Store so that the CLI can keep track of your app.

After that, if you already have an environment set up, you can run ecs-preview app deploy to deploy your app in that environment.

What are the flags?

-t, --app-type string     Type of application to create.
-d, --dockerfile string   Path to the Dockerfile.
-h, --help                help for init
-n, --name string         Name of the application.
    --port uint16         Optional. The port on which your Dockerfile listens.
