Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance that runs the zipping server inside your own AWS account. Pricing scales by instance size, not by features. The t2 and t3 families cover general-purpose needs, from nano and micro up through 2xlarge. The c5 family covers compute-focused work, from large through 9xlarge, plus a bare-metal option. Each larger instance adds CPU and memory capacity for heavier workloads, so you choose the size that fits your throughput needs. All options run the same API server; only the underlying hardware and hourly rate differ.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get the EC2 instance running the zipping API server inside your own AWS account. The t2 and t3 families offer general-purpose CPU and memory. The c5 family offers compute-focused capacity, including a bare-metal option. You pick the size matching your workload, and the hourly rate covers that hardware.
Hourly software charges meter the running time of your EC2 instance. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for the stopped instance's disk. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
No. Your bill is driven only by instance size and running hours, not by how much data you zip. The API server lets you split large output into chunks by file size or count, but this does not change the hourly rate. Larger instances simply process heavy workloads faster.

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
- server updates.
Additional details
Usage instructions
S3zipper runs this instance as a Docker Compose stack
Caddy serves ports 80/443 and reverse proxies to the API server, which binds 127.0.0.1:8000; MongoDB (127.0.0.1:27017) stores job state. The stack starts automatically at boot and recovers if a container stops.
Setup instructions
- Instance creation - when launching, choose Resource-based naming (RBN) for the hostname under "Advanced details". IP-based naming leaves the instance hostname empty, so generated URLs and share links show the IP instead.
- Open the homepage at http://INSTANCE-IP/ and the setup page at http://INSTANCE-IP/settings (it lists every endpoint with copy-ready examples).
- Optional domain / HTTPS - edit /home/app/config.yaml (liveconfig.baseurl, liveconfig.usehttps). For TLS also set PROXY_SERVER_NAME/PROXY_HTTPS in /home/app/dockerconfig.env and switch the block in /home/app/Caddyfile, then run sudo systemctl restart docker-compose.
- Optional result emails - fill emails.* in /home/app/config.yaml (SMTP host, port, username, password), then restart the unit.
Verify
curl -s http://INSTANCE-IP/v2/health - expect {"status":"healthy", ...} with the AMI ID and public address.
Zip objects on S3
curl -X POST "http://INSTANCE-IP/v2/s3zip" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "awsKey": "AKIA...", "awsSecret": "...", "awsRegion": "us-east-1", "awsBucket": "my-bucket", "filePaths": ["my-bucket/reports/january.csv", "my-bucket/reports/february.csv"], "zipTo": "my-bucket/results/reports.zip" }'- filePaths are bucket-prefixed object paths; a prefix includes everything under it.
- zipTo is bucket/key. To write into another bucket or account add destAwsKey, destAwsSecret, destAwsBucket, destAwsRegion.
- The response contains a zipID; poll GET /v2/status?zipID=..., then GET /v2/result?zipID=... returns the archive URL (presigned 168 hours by default).
- Large archives: set maxFileSize (e.g. "100MB") or maxFileCount (e.g. 500); the result then lists one URL per part.
- Other options: compression (store, deflate, gzip), compressLevel, bucketAsDir, usePresignUrl, expireLink (hours), resultsEmail.
- POST /v2/streamzip streams a zip straight to the client and returns a shareable /stream link.
Credentials
Send keys per request (recommended) or hardwire them under awsconfig in config.yaml. The credentials need s3:GetObject on the source bucket and s3:PutObject on the destination bucket.
Logs
/home/app/logs/log.txt - one line per request; rotated at 20 MB, 5 backups, 28 days. Set DEBUG: true in config.yaml for detail.
Documentation
Troubleshooting
- 502 from the proxy - cd /home/app && sudo docker compose ps and sudo docker compose logs awsiterami.
- "status":"unhealthy" - the EC2 metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254) is unreachable; check the instance's IMDS settings and security group.
- 401 from AWS - wrong key pair or missing bucket permissions.
- No email - emails.* in config.yaml is not configured (the log says so).
- Wrong URLs in results - check liveconfig.baseurl and liveconfig.usehttps.

What do you like best about the product?
ZipperV2 is secure to use for storing data in S3 Buckets because it encrypts and compresses files stored in Amazon S3. ZipperV2 allows for huge file uploads as well as massive file compression and unzipping. Uploading to an S3 bucket requires no prior experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though it is highly safe to store files, it will cost us more if we need to unzip or download files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Encrypting and storing massive files. easy to upload
