Overview
This AMI runs a self-hosted automation platform with PostgreSQL on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. You build agents that watch websites and feeds, react to events and pass results on, each on a schedule you set. Version v2026.11.05.2 is pinned and pre-installed in the AMI.
What Perimattic adds
Administrator created for you: a random 24-character password is generated on your server and the one administrator account, using the email you enter, is created during first-login setup, before the site is published. There is no default account and no example agents. Apache provides HTTPS with a free Let's Encrypt certificate for your domain.
Limits you should know
An administrator login can run code inside the application container, so treat it like server access. The shell agent type is switched off. New users need the invitation code and a confirmed email address; with no mail server configured, you confirm a new user on the server (shown in the access file). The first login takes about two to three minutes. The database account is a PostgreSQL superuser inside the isolated container. A t3.medium (4 GB) is the recommended starting size.
Licence and attribution
Huginn is released under the MIT licence and PostgreSQL under the PostgreSQL License; this AMI runs the unmodified upstream images. Built on the open-source Huginn (MIT). Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Huginn project; Huginn is a trademark of its owner.
Getting Started Launch the AMI and open ports 22, 80 and 443 in the security group SSH in and answer the setup prompts (domain and admin email) Open https://your-domain and sign in as admin with the password printed at the end of setup Create your first agent and connect it to others in a scenario
A domain name with an A record pointing at the instance is required, because the site is served over HTTPS.
This AMI is built and supported by Perimattic.

Highlights
- Huginn v2026.11.05.2 (MIT) with PostgreSQL 17.11, pinned and pre-installed: agents that monitor the web and act on events.
- Secure first login: the default admin/password login does not exist, a random 24-character administrator password is generated, sign-up needs a per-instance invitation code, shell-command agents are off and agent traffic goes through an egress proxy. HTTPS through Apache and Let's Encrypt.
- Built on patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and supported by Perimattic: free setup assistance at aws-support@perimattic.com.

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
Initial release.
- Application: Huginn Automation Agents v2026.11.05.2 (container image pinned, baked into the AMI).
- Base: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched at build time, built by an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline.
- TLS: Apache reverse proxy with a Let's Encrypt certificate requested by certbot at first login.
- Credentials are generated on the instance at first login; none are present in the image.
- A random 24-character administrator password and invitation code are generated at first login; no account is seeded and the vendor's default admin/password login does not exist. Setup verifies that the default login, wrong logins and anonymous requests are refused and that sign-up without the code creates no account.
- Application: Huginn v2026.11.05.2 (MIT, unmodified official image) with PostgreSQL 17.11 (both pinned). Shell-command agents are off; agent web requests go through the bundled egress proxy.
- Database: reachable only inside the Docker network.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.
-
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
t3.medium (4 GB of memory) is the recommended starting size: Huginn used about 630 to 730 MB and PostgreSQL about 70 to 80 MB in our tests; a t3.small works but leaves little headroom.
-
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
- 22 (SSH) - terminal access for setup
- 80 (HTTP) - needed to validate your domain for the TLS certificate
- 443 (HTTPS) - access to Huginn Automation Agents
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example agents.example.com) pointing to the instance's public IP before you log in.
-
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
-
First-Login Setup
The first SSH login runs a guided setup:
- Prompts for your domain and admin email and checks the DNS A record
- Generates a random 24-character administrator password, a database password, an invitation code and a session secret on your server
- Starts PostgreSQL and Huginn (no account is seeded), then creates the administrator with the application's own runner command
- Checks that the password works, that the vendor's default login, wrong logins and anonymous requests are refused and that sign-up without the invitation code creates no account
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the URL, username, password and invitation code; they are also stored in /opt/app/access.txt (root only)
If a step fails, fix the problem shown and log in again: the setup resumes where it stopped.
-
Access Huginn Automation Agents
Open https://<your-domain> and sign in as admin with the password printed at the end of setup (view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). The invitation code for new accounts is in the same file.
-
Credentials
Generated on your server, never shared between customers. View them again with:
sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt
-
Manage the Services
cd /opt/app sudo docker compose ps sudo docker compose restart
Agents, events and scenarios are in the PostgreSQL database in /opt/app/postgres: back up all of /opt/app or snapshot the volume before upgrades. New accounts need the invitation code and a confirmation made on the server (no mail server is configured); see /opt/app/access.txt. Treat the administrator login like shell access to the application.
