My advice when it comes to making your setup environment-agnostic:
Docker'ize it.

I haven't used Docker on AWS, but once you have an image running
locally you can be 98% sure it's gonna run on the server (e.g.
mounting files from host can cause some differences still, so best to
avoid that).

See if it makes sense: https://aws.amazon.com/docker/
