    Does it contain miner malware?

    Reviewed on Dec 02, 2024
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    I have been using Bitnami for 3 years, on multiple accounts, and every day I get dozens of emails "your website is down", cpu credit balance is almost always less than 1 even though no one is accessing the website.
    I used to think that it was normal and the reason was that my website was too heavy for the free t2micro.
    Until I tried other wordpress options (sadly not free) I realized that t2micro can run my wordpress smoothly for months without any downtime, CPU credit is always at maximum. Tried to change back to Bitnami and instant crashdown as usual.
    Bitnami seems legit and I never thought they could use user resources to run miners but the reality makes me doubt...

    Works well but is missing IPv6-only support

    This image works well, it does what you would expect. I have a blog running for a couple years now without any glitches.

    Now AWS is charging public IPv4s, we need this image to start supporting IPv6 only.

    Working fine

    It's working fine

    No problems at all with this AMI, but it's running one single and not so much visited website with a template from Monstertemplate and a few plugins.

    It took a lot of work and patience to make this work. The bitnami website is absolutely full of documented tricks and tips so do a lot of reading before you start. New releases come out quite frequently but you need to start from scratch and 'migrate' which is a lot of work. You also lose all of the custom work you have done so you will need to keep a manual record of everything you do.

    I am about 10 releases behind, but I just can't afford the downtime to migrate as my ecommerce site is my primary source of income. I am trying to set up a load balancer and the learning curve is steep to get this to work. I can wrap my head around migrating to RDS but I am having trouble with https. I installed my cert using certbot on EC2 which is great but now ALB wants to do all that. I think there is a conflict. Not sure where to go next.

    I wasted an entire day trying to get this to work. Countless issues. Tired and annoyed. I will now proceed to install Wordpress manually.

    WHY DELETE NANO INSTANCE

    Reviewed on Feb 11, 2021

    this is just one site, and the minimum requirement is t3.micro!!!
    why delete the option of Nano instance, that is not cheap for a single web host.

    This is for a SINGLE WordPress instance ONLY - you cannot install a second site

    Review from a verified AWS customer

    Along with the many other reviews that give this a 1 or 2 stars because you cannot upgrade your PHP version, another major downfall is the inability to install multiple WordPress sites (NOT Multisite.)

    bitnami has 'discontinued' the ability to install more than one WordPress instance on THEIR stack.

    From searching their support site, and finding: "Install multiple WordPress modules" - https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/apps/wordpress-pro/configuration/install-several-wordpress-modules/
    -- 404 - "The Page You Were Looking For Doesn't Exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved."

    From their support from May 2019:
    "Thanks for using Bitnami. I think it is easier (and safer too) if you install a fresh new Bitnami WordPress module on your current Bitnami installation as mentioned in this guide - https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/apps/wordpress/configuration/install-several-wordpress-modules/154"
