Static website

Steps

These steps assume that your repository has a project structure as follows:

GitHub repository containing your source code

├── src/
│   ├── ...
│   └── main.tsx
├── ...
├── package.json
└── index.html

Step 1: Create a S3 bucket + CloudFront

Add the following code snippet to your Terraform project:

main.tf

module "application" {
  source      = "git@github.com:BYM-IKT/terraform-byks-module.git"
  environment = "test"
  ...
  cloudfront_distributions = {
    kattehotell = {}
  }
}

Create a Pull Request to Terraform apply this change.

This will provision two resources:

• A new S3 bucket named ${environment}-${application_name}-${service}. In this example: test-kattehotell-kattehotell.
• A CloudFront distribution that serves the content of the S3 bucket. The resulting FQDN is generated from the key used (here: kattehotell). In this example, the resulting FQDN will therefore become: https://kattehotell.test.bymoslo.net.

The CloudFront distribution serves the content stored in the S3 bucket.

Step 2: Compile and push the code to S3 Bucket

1. Create a GitHub Actions workflow file .github/workflows/deploy-to-test.yml:

   .
   ├── .github/
   │   └── workflows/
   │       └── deploy-to-test.yml
   ├── src/
   │   ├── ...
   │   └── main.tsx
   ├── ...
   ├── package.json
   └── index.html
   

   with the following content:
   ./.github/workflows/deploy-to-test.yml

   name: Build and deploy website to TEST
   
   on:
     push:
       branches: [master]
     workflow_dispatch:
   
   jobs:
     deploy-to-test:
       name: Build app and deploy to TEST
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       permissions:
         id-token: write
         contents: read
       environment: 
         name: testing
         url:  https://kattehotell.test.bymoslo.net
       steps:
         - uses: actions/checkout@v4
   
         - uses: pnpm/action-setup@v4
           with:
             version: 10
             package_json_file: ./package.json
   
         - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
           with:
             node-version: 24
   
         - name: Install dependencies
           run: pnpm install
   
         - name: Build
           env:
             CI: false
           run: pnpm build --emptyOutDir --outDir 'build'
   
         - name: Upload to S3 and invalidate CloudFront cache
           uses: BYM-IKT/github-actions/upload-to-s3-and-invalidate-cloudfront@master
           with:
             aws-account-id:                      "<<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>>"
             s3-bucket-name:                      test-kattehotell-kattehotell
             build-directory:                     ./build
             cloudfront-distribution-domain-name: https://kattehotell.test.bymoslo.net
   

   where <<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>> is replaced with the Id of your AWS Account.
2. Run the pipeline.
3. Verify that the website is online.
