The installation follows the normal process of creating an instance on EC2. The recommended instance size is c5.large.
The security group generally includes the following permissions:
| Type | Protocol | Ports | Origin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custome TCP rule | TCP | 20–21 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| (*) SSH | TCP | 22 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| SMTP | TCP | 25 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| DNS | UDP | 53 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| HTTP | TCP | 80 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| POP3 | TCP | 110 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| NTP | UDP | 123 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| IMAP | TCP | 143 | 0.0.0.0/0 |

| (*) Custom TCP rule | TCP | 8000 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| Custom TCP rule | TCP | 12000-12100 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
The fields marked with (*) are essential, either to access the web interface or for the normal operation of the server.
Once the instance is run, we can access it using:
- SSH: Using the .pem that we have selected when starting the instance.
- HTTPS: Using the url https://ajenti.instance.ip:8000, with user root and as password, the ID of the instance that we just created.
