When launching an instance on EC2 choose settings as usual for the instance type etc.
A security group with no external ports open can be created or reused.
Expand the Advanced details section at the bottom of the Launch an Instance page:
Scroll down to the User data - optional box and paste in your customised YAML e.g.:
#cloud-configruncmd: - # Modify these lines to set the installation specific variables - ATCLIENT="@democlient" - ATDEVICE="@demodevice" - DEVNAME="cloudvm1" - OTP="739128" - USER="ec2-user" - # The rest of the script shouldn't be changed - export HOME="/home/${USER}" - export SUDO_USER="${USER}" - mkdir -p /run/atsign - cd /run/atsign - VERSION=$(wget -q -O- "https://api.github.com/repos/atsign-foundation/noports/releases/latest" | jq -r .tag_name) - wget https://github.com/atsign-foundation/noports/releases/download/${VERSION}/universal.sh - sh universal.sh -t device -c ${ATCLIENT} -d ${ATDEVICE} -n ${DEVNAME} - /usr/local/bin/at_activate enroll -a ${ATDEVICE} -s ${OTP} -p noports -k /home/${USER}/.atsign/keys/${ATDEVICE}_key.atKeys -d ${DEVNAME} -n "sshnp:rw,sshrvd:rw"
- chown -R ${USER}:${USER} /home/${USER}/.atsign
Which will end up looking something like this:
The VM config should now be ready for Launch instance
After a few minutes the APKAM key can be approved:
at_activate approve -a @demodevice --arx noports --drx cloudvm1
If the VM isn't quite ready you'll see:
Found 0 matching enrollment records
No matching enrollment(s) found
Waiting a little longer and retrying should produce a successful approval:
Found 1 matching enrollment records
Approving enrollmentId 0bd3613d-d3e2-45b3-b175-8cab06c9bad0
Server response: AtEnrollmentResponse{enrollmentId: 0bd3613d-d3e2-45b3-b175-8cab06c9bad0, enrollStatus: EnrollmentStatus.approved}
The VM is now ready for connection with the NoPorts client.
