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.
Version release notes
Automatic generation of random application entity title (AET) for security reasons has been added. Lua has been installed.

Usage instructions
- Launch the server. This server does not require powerful computing resources; you can choose a simple instance type. Linux username: ubuntu
- Attach the elastic IP to the instance (recommended).
Web interfaces:
- "Old" (classic): https://[Public IP address]:8042
- "New" web interface: https://[Public IP address]:8042/ui/app/
- default username: admin; initial password is your instance ID
When using the HTTPS protocol to access the web interface, your web browser may display a warning about potential risks due to using an IP address in the URL. In this case, you can proceed and accept the risks, as our main objective is to encrypt traffic, and using an IP address in a web browser is safe for our purposes.
Although the server is working after launching, it is recommended to view and configure configuration files for your tasks:
- Configuration files of the server and its plugins are located in the directory: /etc/orthanc/
- The main configuration file of the Orthanc server: /etc/orthanc/orthanc.json
After editing the configuration files, please do not forget to restart the Orthanc main service: "sudo systemctl restart orthanc".
If you plan to connect this server with other servers, it is convenient to use the "Connectivity-checks" plugin to configure this server and monitor the status of the connections. To check the status of connections, please navigate to the plugins page in Orthanc Explorer and click on "Connectivity-checks" item.
By default, this server uses disk space of the instance for file storage. However, there is also the option to use an AWS S3 bucket for file storage. To enable the AWS S3 plugin:
- Please edit the file "/etc/orthanc/aws-s3.json" (for example, using a command "sudo nano /etc/orthanc/aws-s3.json").
- Run the command "bash /home/ubuntu/s3enable.sh" to activate AWS S3 plugin. (To deactivate this plugin you can run command "bash /home/ubuntu/s3disable.sh")
- Make sure that AWS S3 plugin appeared in the plugin list ("Plugin" button in the Orthanc Explorer)
- To test the functionality of the S3 plugin, please upload the some test studies from your PC ("Upload" button in Orthanc Explorer) and make sure the new files appear in your S3 bucket.
