Login as bamboo user on EC2 Elastic Bamboo Instance

[Georges Auberger]

You can ssh into an ec2 elastic instance by using the elasticbamboo.pk key that Bamboo setup. However, you login as the ec2-user not the bamboo user that the agent use to run the build.

The build files are located in the /home/bamboo user directory and the ec2-user does not have permission to it.

How do you login/su to the bamboo user so you can inspect the build files, logs, etc. for troubleshooting purpose?

sudo su - bamboo

or:

sudo -i

su - bamboo
