Promising and Exciting!

Took me a while to set up the network configuration properly for this instance (had to create two routes in the routing table: one to the subnet associated with the VPC with a target of the network interface, and another with destination anywhere with the target being the internet gateway).

After having done so, I was able to successfully SSH into the machine and start my initial set up according to the usage instructions found on GitHub.

One thing to note though is that once you run the script /bin/install-private-tangle.sh, I had errors regarding docker-compose so I did the following:

1: sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

2: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

3: sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

(Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38775954/sudo-docker-compose-command-not-found)

Then the script should run without more hiccups besides your usual npm warnings, but I was able to successfully view the explorer on http://public-IP:8081 so I think I'm ready to start developing stuff on this private network!

Cool stuff but don't be fooled by the "one-click" setup. Takes a bit of trial and error (in my case) to get it working eventually (:
