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
- Version 4.22.13
- [AWS] Support configuration from System Manager Config
- [AWS] LibreOffice version can be forced with CARBONE_INIT_LOVERSION tag
- If config.factories = 0 (starting without the LibreOffice converter), the hardRefresh option is ignored.
- Version 4.22.12
- [EE] Fix: :transform(axis, unit) for PPTX template did not work in certain cases
- [EE] Fixes studio hang when the template has no Carbone tags and adds an XHTML export option to get embedded images in HTML output
- Version 4.22.11
- [EE] The embedded stateless studio supports XML templates if the following conditions are met: Chromium-based browsers, output file type must be XML. The generated XML is indented and stored locally. It supports live reloads. If the template/data is updated, the generated XML is updated accordingly. VSCode, Sublime Text, or any editing tool can be used to update the XML template and see the result.
- [EE] Fixed :imageFit formatter for resizing image in ODS templates.
- [EE] Fix: Do not escape the character & two times in injected hyperlinks if {o.preReleaseFeatureIn=4022011} is active
- [EE] New :transform(axis, unit) formatter to move a shape on the X or Y axis:
- axis can be x or y to move the item horizontally or vertically from its current position. Positive numbers = move to the right or bottom.
- unit can be cm, mm, inch, or pt. The tag must be positioned inside the item to be transformed (alternative text or inside the shape itself). This tag prints nothing. Supported in ODP, PPTX and ODT templates. The feature is available only if the tag {o.preReleaseFeatureIn=4022011} is used. Be careful, if a loop is created between two shapes, the [i+1] tag must be in the shape that is higher in the layer order than the shape with the [i] tag.
- Version 4.22.9
- Fix: When the tag {o.preReleaseFeatureIn=4022008} is used
- ODS templates supports Carbone tags on the sheet name.
- Accepts conditions on the i+1 part of a loop for backward compatibility.
- Accepts XLSX with empty rows

Usage instructions
Launching Carbone instance:
When launching a new Carbone instance, you need only to configure the followings option when starting the EC2 instance :
- configure EC2 Security Group to accept at least inbound connections TCP/4000.
- assign AWSMarketplaceMeteringFullAccess role to ec2 instance
Use Carbone API
When EC2 is fully booted, you can check if Carbone is running by calling : http://"EC2_IP":4000/status
Full API documentation is available here: https://carbone.io/api-reference.html#carbone-cloud-api
Configuring Carbone:
Full documentation is available here : https://carbone.io/on-aws.html
You can configure Carbone application by modifying /var/www/carbone-ee/config/config.json. To connect to the EC2 instance, use SSH and the username ec2-user with your private key.
Full Carbone options documentation : https://carbone.io/on-premise.html#options-list
Using System Manager and Tag to configure Carbone
It's now possible to fully configure Carbone without modifying config.json file.
To make it possible, you first need to add following policy to grant configuration access for Carbone { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "ssm:GetParameter", "Resource": "" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "ssm:DescribeParameters", "Resource": "" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "ec2:DescribeTags" ], "Resource": [ "*" ] } ] }
Next step is to set configuration in System Manager https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/parameters/
You can now configure Carbone standard option with : CARBONE_EE_* (CARBONE_EE_STUDIO to true to enable studio) CARBONE_EE_STUDIO CARBONE_EE_STUDIOUSER .... CARBONE_S3_* to configure S3 options: CARBONE_S3_templateS3Bucket CARBONE_S3_templateS3BucketRegion .... CARBONE_PUBKEY to set Carbone publikey (for authentification)
If you need to mange multiple Carbone configuration for different environnement, you can set instance TAG to configure config prefix: CARBONE_CONFIG_PREFIX= "/PROD/" for example
Enable Carbone Studio
You can configure CARBONE_EE_STUDIO to true in AWS System Manager
or
You can enable Carbone studio by adding following option in file /var/www/carbone-ee/config/config.json : "studio": true
Store templates and renders on S3 bucket
You can set bucket name and region in file /var/www/carbone-ee/config/config.json with the following options: "templateS3Bucket" : "test-stockage-template", "templateS3BucketRegion" : "us-east-1", "templateS3Folder" : "prod", "renderS3Bucket" : "test-stockage-render", "renderS3Folder" : ""
Authentification is done using EC2 IAM role so you need to add following policy to grant S3 access to you EC2 instance : { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "VisualEditor0", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectAttributes", "s3:ListBucket", "s3:DeleteObject" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::test-stockage-template", "arn:aws:s3:::test-stockage-template/", "arn:aws:s3:::test-stockage-render", "arn:aws:s3:::test-stockage-render/" ] } ] }
Enable log export to cloudwatch
You only need to attach *CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy on EC2 IAM role to enable Carbone logs export in CloudWatch
Sensitive data
All customers data are stored in /var/www/carbone-ee/ folder. Only the template are persistent. By defaut API authentification is disable but you can enable it : https://carbone.io/on-premise.html#server-authentication
