Get a Ubuntu EC2 Instance

To get your DoltLab ready host on AWS:

1. Go to AWS EC2 console and click "Launch instance".

2. Select a Ubuntu 22.04 amd64 t2.xlarge instance.

3. Create a new RSA key pair for your instance in .pem format.

This will create a .pem file and download it locally.

3. Edit network settings and from the "Auto-assign public IP" drop-down menu choose "Enable".

4. Add security group rules for ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 100 (CUSTOM), 4321 (CUSTOM), 50051 (CUSTOM) that allow ingress from anywhere. Specifics here. You also may need to create a new VPC and Subnet here. Just use the defaults.

5. Add 300GB gp3 disk.

6. Click "Launch instance".

After this you should get a public IP for your new host. Mine was 54.191.163.60.

SSH to your New Host

Now I need to SSH to this host. I copy the .pem file I created when I launched the instance to my .ssh folder, give it appropriate permissions and then I can ssh to my new host.

$ cp ~/Downloads/doltlab.pem ~/.ssh
$ chmod 600 .ssh/doltlab.pem
$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/doltlab.pem ubuntu@54.191.163.60
Enter passphrase for key '/Users/timsehn/.ssh/y':
