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
For more info see: https://www.turnkeylinux.org/docs/confconsole

Customer reviews
many problems
- Cannot encrypt the site (the ssl letsencrypt doesnt work, never did, not even on the providers own site) so users will always get a google go away screen.
2. Video thumbnails don't work
3. Conflicting admin type panels.
4. NO SUPPORT
5. NO SUPPORT
It seems like this software was just a scam here on AWS,
when someone see's the word "Turnkey" they generally
think "TurnKey" (You click and the installation is complete.)
Far from it.
Think this is a FAKE bad review? Well go ahead, install and the waste a few days or weeks in my case trying to get it all working... go ahead, I dare you.
After you are done doing all that you are going to have to go through, come back here and tell me I was wrong.
