Bitnami package for MEAN

I gave it a try. I'm not into it. I've been working with apache for over a decade. the way everything here is configured to some nonstandard location is just driving me bananas. a 20 minute change takes an hour while I hunt down where this or that is hidden now. I thought I'd save some time by not having to do initial set up myself. kind of surprising really bc I mostly like what Bitnami did with wordpress for ec2.

This stack is very good and easy to get up and running. As others have pointed out the documentation could be improved - had to rely on external resources e.g DigitalOcean and Stackoverflow.

MEAN bundle is the need of the day. However, there is a need to improve the documentation. I had to rely on external sources for getting started

After trying the AMAZON LINUX version i had to go back to this server AMI. Much faster, support for all the best tools from the Ubuntu release, and the software is rock solid. I had to upgrade the LOOPBACK and node versions to my specific needs but all the tools were there and the directory folder for the NODE MEAN side was simple and easy to understand.

Also mounting a volume was piece of cake.

Thanks BITNAMI another great image ... AGAIN :-)

It seems like Bitnami always does a good job, the MEAN stack is no different. Easy to use, just amazing.

If you're wanting to get up and running quickly with MEAN this is most likely the best option. 64bit and available for T2 if you're starting small. Great foundation and perfect to customise if you need to extend the stack.

All the key components very nicely put together. No surprises, no problems, just plug and play. All that for free.

Recommend products Bitnami.

However, I believe they need to improve only in passing along knowledge to access the aws.amazon.com connect EC2.
