64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
System Initialization:
After creating an EC2 instance with 1-Click, browse to http://<Public_DNS>/ for system initialization instructions.
Alternatively, log in via SSH as user 'admin' to the running instance. Be sure to use the SSH keypair selected during launch.
This inital step is required to set sensitive passwords & install security updates. You may also be asked to set a domain name for your server. If this is required, then it must be a valid domain name (i.e. have DNS configured).
Accessing the software main web app
http://<Public_DNS>/
This may redirect to https and/or the domain set at initialisation.
OS commands via SSH
Log into the running instance via SSH as user 'admin', using the SSH keypair set at launch time. Use sudo to run commands requiring root access.
Web based System Admin control panel
https://<Public_DNS>:12321
Remove scary browser warnings
By default TurnKey AMIs ship with randomly generated self signed SSL/TLS certifcates. This will cause scary warning in your web browser When accessing https.
To remove the browser warnings, you will need to get a SSL/TLS certificate signed by an authorized Certificate Authority (CA). The recommended way to do that is to get a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. TurnKey comes with a built in tool to do that within your instance:
-
Ensure that you have your chosen domain DNS records configured and your domain resolves to your instance.
-
Access your instance via SSH.
-
Run 'sudo confconsole'.
-
Select:
Advanced >> Lets Encrypt >> Gen cert

Service is Outstanding
Seriously outstanding service guys. Appreciated the fact that Jeremy took time on his weekend to get us up and going in a few minutes. Top shelf.
Nice product and great support!
Setup process was easy and worked as described. Product actually offers far more functionalities than advertised (admin page for database, admin page for debian) so after initial setup you don't have to use SSH and console any more. I suggest reading through their webpage to see all the functionalities you are getting.
Static files can be stored on AWS S3 and mails can be routed through AWS SES which is great. You can't configure AWS RDS as a database solution (AFAIK) but 2GB of space on suggested instance should be enough for mattermost.
Backups work as a charm (unlimited number stored on your account's S3 (automatically created), size per backup cca. 10MB). I suggest setting up backups from console because turnkey hub is not that intuitive for AWS MP customers (staff is great though and they promised they will change hub so it takes AWS MP customers into consideration).
AWS policy suggested for setting up backups can be narrowed down if you are only using Mattermost.
