Running Amahi on Amazon Cloud computing service. discussion is ongoing on the amahi forum about this.

IMPORTANT: THOSE INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT LEAD TO A FULLY WORKING AMAHI SYSTEM:

1) Register to Amazon AWS 1) launch instance of AMI "ami-0d638d64" 2) ssh into it with the command shown on the amazon console 3) create a user with useradd -p PASSWORD USERNAME 4) check that /dev/null is readable, if not do a: chmod go+rw /dev/null 5) from your home computer generate a ssh key if you don't already have one (check ~/.ssh/ for an id_rsa.pub file) with: ssh-keygen 6) upload your ssh key to the running instance with: scp -i YOURKEYPAIR.pem ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@INSTANCEPUBLICIP:/home/USERNAME/id_rsa.pub 7)from your server again move your keypair to the authorized ssh key with

mv ~/id_rsa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 

8) check that /dev/null is readable, if not do a: chmod go+rw /dev/null 9) use route and ifconfig to find out your network setting 10) create your hda profile accordingly

as root follow the instruction on the wiki for a Self-install, on reboot disable DHCP and SAMBA server as they conflict with amazon network settings.
