This product has charges associated with it for a hardened Cloud Forge runtime AMI that includes Docker, Caddy, bootstrap automation, SSM support, and security configuration for one-command open-source app deployments on AWS.
Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for Cloud Forge runtime hardening, bootstrap automation, Caddy/TLS configuration, integration scripts, maintenance, and seller support.
Cloud Forge Hardened App Runtime is an Amazon Linux 2023 based AMI for deploying self-hosted open-source applications through Cloud Forge CLI and AWS CloudFormation. It is designed as the runtime layer behind Cloud Forge catalog apps, so teams can move from an app selection to a running EC2 deployment with a repeatable command-line workflow.
What is included:
- Amazon Linux 2023 base image
- Docker and Docker Compose
- Caddy reverse proxy
- Cloud Forge bootstrap service
- Cloud Forge app installer contract
- AWS Systems Manager Agent support
- CloudWatch Agent when available from the OS package repositories
- IMDSv2 configuration in the provided CloudFormation template
- Basic host hardening and cleanup during AMI build
- Runtime capability metadata under /etc/cloud-forge/capabilities.json
Use cases:
- Self-hosting open-source applications from the Cloud Forge catalog
- Deploying repeatable single-node app stacks on AWS
- Running Caddy-fronted Docker Compose applications with CloudFormation outputs
- Testing Cloud Forge catalog templates before promoting them to production
Caddy is installed by default. When a DNS name is provided, Caddy can use automatic HTTPS for that domain. When no DNS name is provided and IP certificate mode is enabled, Cloud Forge attempts to request a Let's Encrypt certificate for the instance public IPv4 address. IP certificate mode requires inbound HTTP/HTTPS access, a public IPv4 address, and a stable public address such as an Elastic IP.
This AMI has an AWS Marketplace software fee. AWS infrastructure costs such as EC2, EBS, public IPv4, Elastic IP, and data transfer are billed separately by AWS. Cloud Forge CLI itself is open source and has no separate software fee.

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
Cloud Forge Hardened App Runtime 0.2.1 on Amazon Linux 2023.
Includes Docker, Docker Compose, Caddy reverse proxy, Cloud Forge bootstrap service, local installer contract, SSM support, CloudWatch Agent when available, basic host hardening, and runtime capability metadata.
Caddy runs through Docker Compose and supports HTTP fallback, domain HTTPS, optional Let's Encrypt IP address certificates, and internal TLS mode for private testing.
AMI: ami-0777e5ab470bf89c1 (us-east-1)
Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch this AMI through the Cloud Forge CLI or the provided CloudFormation template.
Recommended first test:
- Deploy in us-east-1 with instance type t3.small or t3.medium.
- Use Systems Manager Session Manager where possible. SSH is optional and password login is disabled.
- Open TCP 80 and 443 for Caddy and public certificate validation. Restrict SSH to a trusted CIDR when enabled.
- Check runtime status with: sudo systemctl status cloud-forge-bootstrap sudo systemctl status docker docker compose -f /opt/cloud-forge/docker-compose.platform.yml ps sudo journalctl -u cloud-forge-bootstrap --no-pager
Caddy is installed by default. Use a DNS name for the most stable public HTTPS path. If no DNS name is provided and IP certificate mode is enabled, Cloud Forge attempts to request a Let's Encrypt certificate for the public IPv4 address. This requires inbound 80/443 and a stable public IPv4 address such as an Elastic IP.
