Magento AMI Installer – User Guide

This Magento AMI walks you through using the Magento auto-installer script (setup.sh) to deploy a Magento site with Nginx, Varnish, MySQL, PHP and SSL on an AWS EC2 instance.

Prerequisites For Magento AMI Installer

This AMI comes pre-configured with all required software and Magento source code. Before using the installer, ensure the following:

• You launch the EC2 instance using the Magento AMI.
• The auto-installer script is available at: /home/ubuntu/setup.sh
• The system pre-installs and configures Nginx, MySQL, OpenSearch, Varnish, OpenJDK 17, PHP and the required PHP extensions.
• The system has already placed the Magento source code under: /var/www/html/magento2/
• DNS: Your domain must point to the EC2 public IP (A record set)

Installation:

Run the Script

The system will prompt you to enter the following inputs:

• Database name (e.g. magento_db)
• Database user (e.g. magento_user)
• Database password
• Domain name
• Email address
• Admin pass

Additionally, the script will create the DB and user automatically if they don’t exist.

The script will check if the domain points to this server’s public IP.

If domain matches, installation proceeds.
If the domain doesn’t match, the system will ask you to try again.

Magento Installation

Once the domain check passes:

• Magento setup will run silently in the background.
• A spinner will indicate progress.
• It typically takes few minutes.

After completing Magento Setup it will install certbot and automatically configure Nginx.

• Let’s Encrypt SSL will be automatically issued using Certbot.
• Nginx vhost will be automatically configured for port 443 & 8080.
• After that it will fix permissions for magento.
• Then your site will be accessible over HTTPS.
