Overview
This AMI runs a single-node log aggregation store on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: your servers and agents push log lines over HTTP, and you query them by label with a query language. The vendor image is pinned to release 3.7.9 and baked into the AMI, so first start does not depend on a registry. Logs are kept on the instance's disk.
What Perimattic adds
The log store has no login of its own, so access is protected for you: during first-login setup, before the site is published, a random 24-character password is generated on your server and Apache asks for it (user admin) for every path, for pushing and for querying. There is no default account. Apache provides HTTPS with a free Let's Encrypt certificate, and the store itself listens only on the loopback interface.
Limits you should know
There is no web interface: use the HTTP API, a log agent, the command line client or a dashboard tool pointed at the HTTPS address. Retention is set to 31 days and old data is deleted automatically; lines more than 7 days old are rejected on arrival. Storage is on the root volume with no size cap, so size the volume for your daily log volume times 31 and back it up or snapshot it. This is one node with local disk: no clustering and no object storage. Alert rules are not configured. The application used about 165 MB of memory in our tests, so t3.small is the recommended starting size; heavy ingestion needs more.
Licence and attribution
Built on the open-source Loki (AGPL-3.0), unmodified. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Grafana Labs; Loki is a trademark of its owner.
Getting Started Launch the AMI and open ports 22, 80 and 443 in the security group SSH in and answer the setup prompts (domain and admin email) Read the user name and password at the end of setup (or in /opt/app/access.txt) Point your log agent at https://your-domain/loki/api/v1/push with basic authentication
A domain name with an A record pointing at the instance is required, because the site is served over HTTPS.
This AMI is built and supported by Perimattic.

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
Initial release.
- Application: Log Aggregation Platform 3.7.9 (container image pinned, baked into the AMI).
- Base: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched at build time, built by an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline.
- TLS: Apache reverse proxy with a Let's Encrypt certificate requested by certbot at first login.
- Credentials are generated on the instance at first login; none are present in the image.
- Access is protected by Apache basic authentication with a random 24-character password generated at first login (no default account); the store listens on the loopback interface only, and setup verifies a test line is accepted before the site is published.
- Log storage 3.7.9 (AGPL-3.0, unmodified vendor image) with filesystem storage and 31-day retention.
- No web interface, no alert rules, no usage reporting.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.
-
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
t3.small (2 GB of memory) is the recommended starting size: the store used about 165 MB in our tests; heavy ingestion or large queries need more memory and a larger disk.
-
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
- 22 (SSH) - terminal access for setup
- 80 (HTTP) - needed to validate your domain for the TLS certificate
- 443 (HTTPS) - access to Log Aggregation Platform
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example logs.example.com) pointing to the instance's public IP before you log in.
-
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
-
First-Login Setup
The first SSH login runs a guided setup:
- Prompts for your domain and admin email and checks the DNS A record
- Generates a random 24-character password on your server and stores only a salted hash of it for Apache
- Starts the log store on the loopback interface and checks that it accepts a test line and is ready
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy that asks for the password on every path, and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the endpoint, username and password; they are also stored in /opt/app/access.txt (root only)
If a step fails, fix the problem shown and log in again: the setup resumes where it stopped.
-
Access Log Aggregation Platform
Send logs to https://<your-domain>/loki/api/v1/push with basic authentication (user admin and the password printed at the end of setup; view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). Query with https://<your-domain>/loki/api/v1/query_range using the same credentials.
-
Credentials
Generated on your server, never shared between customers. View them again with:
sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt
-
Manage the Services
cd /opt/app sudo docker compose ps sudo docker compose restart
Logs are stored in /opt/app/data and deleted after 31 days; size the root volume for daily volume times 31 and back it up or snapshot it. There is no web interface and no alerting.
