Using Amazon Web Services

would this be a possible replacement for MailGun to send the login link for my no-password login functions?

Amazon SES - Bulk and transactional email-sending service.
http://stackshare.io/amazon-ses

Amazon SES eliminates the complexity and expense of building an in-house email solution or licensing, installing, and operating a third-party email service. The service integrates with other AWS services, making it easy to send emails from applications being hosted on services such as Amazon EC2.

Logged into aws.amazon.com with my Amazon account, which I then used to create an AWS account.

Created an EC2 instance. I choose Ubuntu 14.04.

Instance is running in the US East (N. Virginia) region.

During the process, I had to create a key pair name. AWS created a private key, which I downloaded. It was a .pem file.

I moved the .pem file to another directory on my local Linux machine at home. From within this directory, I used ssh to connect to my EC2 account, using the command line instructions provided by AWS's web interface.

It's a fairly clean or empty Linux machine, as with my Digital Ocean Droplet account.

I chose to install Nginx first.

this starts in the home directory, which is /home/ubuntu

  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install nginx
  • sudo service nginx start
  • sudo mkdir www
  • cd www
  • sudo mkdir mysite
  • cd mysite
  • sudo vim index.html
    • added test content to index.html
  • cd
  • sudo chmod -R 755 www
  • cd /etc/nginx/sites-available

  • sudo cp default mysite
  • cd ..
  • cd sites-enabled
  • sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite mysite
  • sudo service nginx restart

Route53

bought: perchwire.com and boghop.com through AWS.

used route53's dns setup to connect the ec2 instance with the domain name.

web access problem resolved

wed, evening, july 27, 2016. i have not looked at this since last week when i initiated this.

http://boghop.com now works, display a hello world type message.

https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=571142

my issue was identical

I have taken a look at your one running instance and I can see you have only allowed access to port 22 in the associated Security Group ("sg-0bbd436e").

In order to ping the instance, you will need to allow ICMP traffic. In order to browse to the instance, you will need to typically open port 80/443--this depends on which port you have configured the Web server to listen.

in EC2 management:

- showed instances running, which is only one
- scroll to the right, all the way, to show security groups
- click the link for launch-wizard-1
- only thing permitted was port 22 for ssh
- i added http port 80
- i also added icmp

next, i need to install:

  • perl
  • fast cgi
  • wren
    • any modules used by wren
      • mailgun
      • json

"You can invalidate cache with fake (ignored) URL parameters (http://foo.html?hello) or HEAD section declarations."

+1 on setting up an s3 bucket, cloudfront distribution, ssl sni, route 53 rules and simple "aws s3 sync" command with some cache-headers

GitHub (source) => TravisCI (deployment) => S3 (hosting).
I have a CloudFront distribution sitting in front of S3, secured with a free SSL certificate powered by Amazon ACM. I like S3 for its flexibility. My site is in both English and Dutch and I want to serve English content on .io and the Dutch content on .nl. With S3 I just create two buckets, associate the bucket with a different domain and welcome page (index_en.html and index_nl.html) and publish the same site to each bucket.

Amazon S3 + CloudFront here, for several websites and it works wonderfully. I recently set up attensee/s3_website as a pipeline on my BitBucket repo, so now when any team member pushes their HTML/CSS updates to BitBucket, it automatically deploys the site to S3 and invalidates the CloudFront caches automatically. Instant website updates using only `git push`.

http://stout.is/
Stout is a deploy tool for static websites. It takes a website and uploads it to S3 in a more reliable way than other tools.
