Video Downloader

Overview

This repository contains the source code for a YouTube video downloader application built with Spring Boot. The application is configured to run on an EC2 instance with Nginx as a reverse proxy.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• A GitHub account
• An AWS account
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands

Setting Up an EC2 Instance

1. Create an EC2 Instance:

   • Log in to the AWS Management Console.
   • Navigate to the EC2 Dashboard.
   • Click on "Launch Instance".
   • Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). For example, you can use Amazon Linux 2.
   • Choose an instance type. The t2.micro instance type is a good option for testing.
   • Configure instance details, add storage, and configure security groups (ensure port 80 for HTTP and port 22 for SSH are open).
   • Review and launch the instance.
   • Download the .pem key pair for SSH access.

2. Connect to Your EC2 Instance:

   ssh -i /path/to/your-key.pem ec2-user@your-ec2-public-dns

Initial Setup on EC2 Instance

1. Install Git:

   sudo yum update -y
   sudo yum install git -y

2. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PurandharAdigarla/Video_Downloader.git
   cd Video_Downloader

Running the Setup Script to set up the environment

1. Run the setup_linux.sh Script:

   Ensure your setup_linux.sh script is executable and then execute it:

   chmod +x setup_linux.sh
   ./setup_linux.sh

   The script will:

   • Update and install required packages
   • Build the Maven project
   • Configure Nginx
   • Run the Java application in the background

Accessing the Application

1. Check Application Logs:

   After running the setup script, check the application logs to ensure it started correctly:

   tail -f /home/ec2-user/app/app.log

2. Verify Nginx Configuration:

   Open a web browser and navigate to http://your-ec2-public-dns to see if the Nginx server is serving your application.

Troubleshooting

• Port Conflicts: If you encounter issues with port conflicts, use the following commands to identify and resolve the problem:

  sudo lsof -i :8082
  sudo kill -9 <PID>

• Nginx Configuration Issues: If Nginx fails to start, check the configuration with:

  sudo nginx -t
