Installing on Amazon Web Services

Added by Joe Librizzi about 11 years ago

Hi. I’m trying to run OP3 using AWS. I’ve gone through the Ubuntu installation procedure using EC2, but can’t access the application. I’m an infrastructure noob and am not sure how to diagnose the problem.

The install instructions say to access it at http://localhost:3000 where localhost is the server IP. I’ve tried to use the Public IP EC2 gives me, but it’s not found.

Any suggestions on how I start to solve this?, or even a guess at whether the problem is with my install vs my server setup?

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

we’re running openproject.org itself on AWS. We use their Opsworks service that automates server setup and application deployments. This way can install new versions of OpenProject automatically.

You can of course use a plain EC2 instance without any automation like Opsworks on top. By default, EC2 blocks inbound access to most or all ports of your machine. This access can be configured using EC2 Security Groups.

When running a publicly accessible installation of OpenProject you want to run it behind a webserver like Apache with Passenger. For Ubuntu, you can take some hints from the Debian installation guide on how to set up Apache with Passenger.

Cheers,
Michael

Thanks so much Michael! OpWorks looks great, especially since I think I traced my problem back to my Passenger set up and really don’t know what I’m doing in that regard. I’m going to give it a go.

Any chance you’d be willing to share your cookbook? I completely understand if not, but figured I’d ask anyway.

Thanks again for this info!
Joe

Hi Joe,

we’ll have to discuss whether to open source the cookbook as we’d have to invest some work to make them useful for other people. Unfortunately I can’t give you an estimate on when we have a decision, but if you have any questions in the meantime, I’d be happy to help you out.

Cheers,
Michael
