Deploy to aws ec2

[NilsChr]

Is it possible to get an example of how to host an app on AWS?

F.ex the Demo chat app.

I cant get the connection right when trying this out

Try this on Ubuntu 20.04 (AWS EC2):

Security Group (Firewall)

Protocol	Port range	Source
UDP	1024 - 65535	0.0.0.0/0
TCP	22	MY-IP/24
TCP	3000	0.0.0.0/0

Installation Script

The name of the user is ubuntu.

#!/bin/bash

# tested on ubuntu 20.04 / t3a.nano

sudo apt update && \
sudo apt upgrade -yq && \
sudo apt install cmake -yq && \

# Node.js 16.x (https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md#deb)

Thanks!

If anyone else is struggling to open the app after running the script:
Remember to append the port to the Public IPv4 Address on your EC2 Instance.
