Amahi on AWS

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:

• Register to Amazon AWS
• launch instance of AMI "ami-0d638d64"
• ssh into it with the command shown on the amazon console
• create a user with:

useradd -p PASSWORD USERNAME

• check that /dev/null is readable, if not do a:

chmod go+rw /dev/null

• 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

• upload your ssh key to the running instance with:

scp -i YOURKEYPAIR.pem ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@INSTANCEPUBLICIP:/home/USERNAME/id_rsa.pub

• from your server again move your keypair to the authorized ssh key with:

mv ~/id_rsa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

• check that /dev/null is readable, if not do a:

chmod go+rw /dev/null

• use route and ifconfig to find out your network setting
• 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.
