The container-queue-worker projects aims to provide an easy way to migrate your elastic beanstalk workers to a docker orchestration system.

The projects works by creating a configuration file and mounting it to your container on the '/etc/worker/worker.conf' path.

worker {
  type =  sqs
  server-endpoint = http://{docker-service}
  aws {
    queue-endpoint =  http://{amazon queue endpoint}
  }
}

Another way is to configure the queue worker using environmental variables

WORKER_TYPE=sqs
WORKER_SERVER_ENDPOINT=http://{docker-service}
WORKER_AWS_QUEUE_ENDPOINT=http://{amazon queue endpoint}

Keep in mind that you should provide the aws credentials configuration through environment variables This has to be done regardless of the configuration approach that you have used.

AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: eu-west-1
