    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

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    System Initialization:

    After creating an EC2 instance with 1-Click, browse to http://<Public_DNS>/ for system initialization instructions.

    Alternatively, log in via SSH as user 'admin' to the running instance. Be sure to use the SSH keypair selected during launch.

    This inital step is required to set sensitive passwords & install security updates. You may also be asked to set a domain name for your server. If this is required, then it must be a valid domain name (i.e. have DNS configured).

    Accessing the software main web app

    http://<Public_DNS>/

    This may redirect to https and/or the domain set at initialisation.

    OS commands via SSH

    Log into the running instance via SSH as user 'admin', using the SSH keypair set at launch time. Use sudo to run commands requiring root access.

    Web based System Admin control panel

    https://<Public_DNS>:12321

    Remove scary browser warnings

    By default TurnKey AMIs ship with randomly generated self signed SSL/TLS certifcates. This will cause scary warning in your web browser When accessing https.

    To remove the browser warnings, you will need to get a SSL/TLS certificate signed by an authorized Certificate Authority (CA). The recommended way to do that is to get a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. TurnKey comes with a built in tool to do that within your instance:

    1. Ensure that you have your chosen domain DNS records configured and your domain resolves to your instance.

    2. Access your instance via SSH.

    3. Run 'sudo confconsole'.

    4. Select:

      Advanced >> Lets Encrypt >> Gen cert

    For more info see: https://www.turnkeylinux.org/docs/confconsole

    It does not work out of the box

    Reviewed on Jun 30, 2024
    Purchase verified by AWS

    Ironically this Turnkey AMI is not "turnkey" at all. I am not new to server deployment or AWS. I already have another Wireguard server setup.

    Client connects but either no internet access or traffic is not tunneled through vpn.

    I followed all their documentation, researched forum posts, github issues, etc in search of why it was not working as it should out of the box.

    I recommend not wasting your time and just doing a manual deployment.
