Overview
This AMI runs a self-hosted kanban board application with MongoDB on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Teams plan work on boards with lists, cards, labels, checklists and comments. Version 12.94 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. Registration is closed once the administrator exists. Apache provides HTTPS with a free Let's Encrypt certificate for your domain.
Limits you should know
MongoDB 7 is used under the SSPL licence, and the image also contains two unused components under their own licences (FerretDB, Apache-2.0, and QEMU, GPL-2.0). No mail server is configured. The project publishes new versions almost daily, so a new AMI version is needed to update. A t3.medium (4 GB) is the recommended starting size.
Licence and attribution
Built on the open-source WeKan (MIT licence) and MongoDB Community Server 7.0 (SSPL-1.0, a source-available licence; the server is used unmodified as the application's database). Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the WeKan project; WeKan is a trademark of its owner. The upstream application image also carries unused components under their own licences, including the FerretDB binary (Apache-2.0) and the QEMU user-mode emulator (GPL-2.0).
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 board and add users in the Admin Panel
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.

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
Initial release.
- Application: Collaborative Kanban Boards 12.94 (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.
- The administrator is created during first-login setup with a random 24-character password and registration is closed in the database settings before the site is published; setup verifies that strangers cannot register, that default logins are refused and that anonymous requests are refused.
- Release 12.94 of the application (MIT, unmodified vendor image) with MongoDB 7.0.45 (SSPL, authentication on) runs on the loopback interface behind Apache.
- No board, user or credential is shipped.
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: the application used about 260 MB and MongoDB about 250 to 400 MB in our tests. Choose a larger size for many users or large attachment volumes.
-
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 Collaborative Kanban Boards
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example boards.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 and separate database passwords on your server
- Starts MongoDB (authentication on) and the application, creates the administrator, closes registration, then checks that a stranger cannot register by the REST call or the sign-up page's live connection, that a wrong password and admin/admin are refused, and that anonymous requests are refused
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy (with websocket support) and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the URL, username and password; 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 Collaborative Kanban Boards
Open https://<your-domain>/ and sign in as the user admin with the password printed at the end of setup (view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). Add users in the Admin Panel (profile menu); registration stays closed.
-
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
Data is in the MongoDB database (/opt/app/mongo) and /opt/app/wekan-data (attachments and avatars); back up or snapshot the volume before upgrades. MongoDB is not reachable from outside the server.
