Medusa | Support by cloudimg

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview Medusa is a flexible open source headless commerce platform built on Node.js and TypeScript. It provides a modular commerce engine with Store and Admin REST APIs and a built-in Admin dashboard, so you can build storefronts, marketplaces and B2B commerce experiences with full control over your data. This image delivers Medusa fully installed and configured as a system service, with PostgreSQL and Redis co-located, so a production grade commerce backend is running within minutes of launch.

Application Stack The Medusa server and the built-in Admin dashboard installed under a dedicated service account and run as a systemd service. PostgreSQL holding the commerce data and Redis backing the workflow engine, the event bus and the cache, both co-located on the instance. The project, the built server output and the PostgreSQL data directory stored on a dedicated data disk so the store is independently resizable. An nginx reverse proxy that publishes the Admin dashboard and the Store and Admin APIs on port 80.

Headless Commerce Engine Model products, variants, prices, regions, inventory, orders, customers, promotions and fulfilment through the Admin dashboard or the Admin REST API, and serve any storefront over the Store REST API. Medusa is modular, so you can extend it with custom modules, subscribers and workflows, and its durable workflow engine, backed by Redis, retries long running commerce operations reliably.

Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh admin password, unique to that instance, rotates the database password, the JWT secret and the cookie secret, creates the administrator account and writes the password to a root only file. The server binds to loopback only and is never exposed without authentication. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.

Ready To Use The Admin dashboard is served on port 80 at the /app path through nginx. Sign in with the generated administrator credentials to manage your catalogue, orders and customers. Point your storefront at the instance on port 80 and call the Store API at /store; automate with the Admin API at /admin behind the same authentication.
