latest version does not have LetsEncrypt.... so no SSL
latest version does not have LetsEncrypt.... so no SSL as advertised in the name. Must be done manually and its a pain.
NGINX with SSL manualy
Is pretty useless an AMI with Nginx ad SSL that not support auto configuration for the service. I have try it, but mabye I will kill this instance and start over again.
Broken SSH
Suddenly I couldn't access to my instance anymore.
After loosing hours, I decide to recover my wordpress site from the backup. So, I created a brand new instance based on this image... and guess what?? It's unreachable!!
Please fix the ssh.
Fails at its only purpose!
The only reason I used this image was to streamline my Let'sEncrypt SSL - why not?
Used the provided tool:
Executing /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool...

Bitnami installation directory
Please type a directory that contains a Bitnami installation. The default
installation directory for Linux installers is a directory inside /opt.
Bitnami installation directory [/opt/bitnami]:
Warning: Currently only installations using the Apache web server are supported.
Make sure you are entering a proper path, or choose a different directory.
Critical Error upon creation, SSL doesnt work
Fired up another WordPress with NGINX and SSL Certified by Bitnami and Automattic version 5.3 node, logged into the Admin Area and updated the 3 plugins that come with the install.
Then the website crashed, warning message "There has been a critical error on your website."
Weird how it basically comes flawed out of the box.
CRAP
Can't connect to SSH through Mac or the browser terminal. so can't install any SSL on the site unless you start over from scratch. this is the 3rd instance. Stay away from Bitnami. Go to Digital Ocean or Pure Ubuntu
