The security group usually includes the following permits:

The fields marked with (*) are essential, both to access the web interface and for the normal operation of the server. Although we use 0.0.0/0 to allow access to all sources as an example, we recommend blocking access only to their networks or hosts.

Once the instance is working, we can access using:

• SSH: Using the .pem that we have selected when launching the instance, and the user ubuntu.
• HTTP: Using the URL https://ip.of.invoiceplane.instance/  , with user invoiceplane@change.me and password the ID of the instance we just created.

Configuration  

SSL configuration with Let’s Encrypt  

To configure a valid certificate, we must first point the name we want to use in our DNS, as an A record, pointing to the server’s IP. This step is necessary because Let’s Encrypt verifies that the domain is pointing correctly.

The rest of the process is simply a matter of running the script /opt/tools/sbin/configure-nginx-letsencrypt.sh, passing it two arguments:

1. The full domain name we want to use
2. A valid email address

If, for example, our domain is my.domain.com, and our email address is usuario@dominio.com, we would run the script as follows:

/opt/tools/sbin/configure-nginx-letsencrypt.sh mi.dominio.com usuario@dominio.com

The script takes care of configuring the server to set up the certificate, and once it is finished, you will be able to access the instance using https://elnombredetudominio.
