Installation #
Installation follows the normal process of creating an EC2 instance. The recommended instance size is t3.medium.
The security group usually includes the following rules:
| Type | Protocol | Port range | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| (*) SSH | TCP | 22 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| (*) HTTP | HTTP | 80 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
| (*) HTTPS | HTTPS | 443 | 0.0.0.0/0 |
The rules marked with (*) are essential, both to reach the web interface and for normal server operation. Although the example uses 0.0.0.0/0, we recommend restricting access to your own networks or bastion hosts.
Once the instance is running, you can log in with:
- SSH: using the
.pemkey you selected when launching the instance, with theubuntuuser. - HTTP: at
https://ip.of.invoiceplane.instance/, with user[email protected]and, as the password, the ID of the instance you have just created.
Configuration #
SSL configuration with Let's Encrypt
To set up a valid certificate you first need to point the name you want to use at the server’s IP with an A record in your DNS. This step is required because Let’s Encrypt verifies that the domain resolves correctly.
The rest of the process is just running the /opt/tools/sbin/configure-nginx-letsencrypt.sh script with two arguments:
- The full domain name you want to use.
- A valid email address.
So if your domain is my.domain.com and your email address is [email protected], you would run:
/opt/tools/sbin/configure-nginx-letsencrypt.sh my.domain.com [email protected]The script takes care of configuring the server to install the certificate, and once it finishes you can reach the instance at https://your-domain-name.
Remember to replace the example domain name used here with your own.
