    AWS launch steps

Getting started

From launch to signed in, step by step.

  1. Launch in us-east-1 with TCP 22, 80 and 8000 open; wait for the health checks to pass.

  2. Open http://<instance-public-ip>/nextcloud - Nextcloud is served from the /nextcloud path - and sign in with username admin. phpMyAdmin: /phpmyadmin (username root). Webmin: port 8000 (username admin). The password for all three is your EC2 Instance ID (for example i-0123456789abcdef0).

  3. Desktop and mobile clients connect at the same URL over WebDAV.

  4. SSH as ubuntu with your key pair. Change passwords with the utilities in /home/ubuntu/iscripts.

  5. When you add a hostname, set it in trusted_domains in config/config.php and put a certificate on Apache or a load balancer.

Security posture

What this image does and does not ship with, one fact per line.

  • Clean-room build on Canonical's official Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image: every component comes from its own official repository or release, nothing is copied from any third-party image, and the finished image was scanned for third-party vendor strings before capture.

  • No usable credential ships in the image; passwords are set on your instance at first boot from EC2 instance metadata (IMDSv2) and the scripts that set them delete themselves afterwards.

  • SSH is key-only, root login over SSH is refused, and build-time SSH keys, shell history and logs were removed before imaging.

  • Passwords for Nextcloud, MySQL root and Webmin are set per instance at first boot from the Instance ID.

  • System logs, shell histories and SSH authorized keys were purged and the MySQL maintenance credentials file sanitised before the image was captured with --no-reboot.

  • Webmin runs in plain HTTP mode on port 8000; MySQL listens locally.

  • The bundled password tools enforce at least 10 characters with upper- and lower-case letters, a number and a symbol, and verify the new credential with a real sign-in before reporting success.

  • The image is HTTP-only by design so it works at a bare IP with no certificate warnings: terminate TLS at a load balancer or add a certificate before exposing it publicly, and restrict port 22 and any admin ports to trusted IP ranges in your security group.
