    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
    1. Initial Portainer CE Deployment: Portainer Community Edition is pre-installed and configured to run automatically on instance launch.
    2. Automated First-Boot Setup: Guided workflow prompts for domain mapping, admin email, and SSL provisioning.
    3. Secure Admin Password Generation: Strong, randomized admin password is generated and stored securely on first boot.
    4. Automatic DNS Verification: DNS propagation is checked with multiple resolvers to prevent misconfiguration before SSL issuance.
    5. Let's Encrypt SSL Integration: Valid SSL certificates are automatically requested and applied for HTTPS access.
    6. Preconfigured Apache Reverse Proxy: Secure HTTPS reverse proxy is auto-configured to route traffic cleanly to the Portainer UI.
    7. Portainer Data Persistence: Portainer data is stored under /opt/app/portainer/data ensuring configuration and workspace persistence.
    8. Docker Socket Binding Enabled: Allows full Docker host lifecycle and container control directly through the Portainer UI.
    9. Failsafe Installer Logic: If setup is interrupted or partially completes, the system retries automatically until successful.
    10. Ready-to-Use Management Dashboard: After setup, users can immediately log in to the Portainer dashboard to deploy containers, stacks, and manage infrastructure.

      From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.

    2. Choose the Recommended Instance Type

    3. Configure Security Group

      Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:

    4. Connect to the Instance

      ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>

    5. First-Boot Setup

      On first run, the AMI performs a guided and automated configuration:

      • Detects your server's public IP address
      • Prompts you to enter your domain name (e.g., portainer.example.com)
      • Confirms the domain's A record resolves correctly to this server
      • Requests your admin email, used for notifications & SSL registration
      • Automatically generates a secure Portainer admin password
      • Configures Apache reverse proxy for secure routing
      • Requests and installs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate
    6. Configure DNS

      Before setup continues, add the following DNS record with your domain provider:

      portainer.example.com - <your-instance-public-IP>

      The setup process automatically checks for DNS propagation.

    7. Automatic SSL Setup

      After DNS validation:

      • A free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is issued
      • HTTPS is enabled automatically
      • All traffic is securely routed to the Portainer service
