AWS Marketplace install

This guide is split in 3 parts:

1. part 1: Register the product on AWS
2. part 2: Do some configuration magics from AWS
3. part 3: Access the software

Step1: Register to our product

From the AWS marketplace, subscribe to our product from our vendor page:

At this stage, the status should show pending for about 2 minutes after which you see this:

Step2: AWS Configuration

Step3: Access the software

You now have 2 options:

• OPTION1: you want to use your own domain name. In that scenario, create either a CNAME or A record that points to the machine. Once this is done, access the application via your domain name using HTTP.

• OPTION2: you don’t care about the domain name for now. In that scenario, access the machine via HTTP. In my scenario, the URL is: http://3.236.113.29

This will setup SSL certificate so you can access your application via HTTPS. After a few seconds, you will be great by Filestash:

Tips: if you don’t use your own domain name but the IP address or the amazonaws.com domain, Filestash will generate self signed certificate meaning users will be asked to follow through a scary prompt to access the application. That prompt won’t be there if you use your own domain name.
