  6. Specifying storage options (e.g., EBS volume size). For storage considerations, please see Martini Designer Online System Requirements page.

  7. Launch the Instance: Complete the configuration and launch the instance. AWS will handle the provisioning and deployment of Martini Designer Online on the selected EC2 instance.

  8. Access Martini Designer Online: Once the instance is running, access Martini Designer Online via the provided public DNS or IP address in your web browser.

Notes

  • Review AWS pricing and instance management policies before provisioning.
  • During setup, configure appropriate network access and security settings to ensure a secure and reliable environment.

Option 2: Manual Setup with Docker

Steps for Manual Setup

  1. Set Up AWS Infrastructure:
  2. Launch an EC2 instance with your preferred AMI (e.g., Amazon Linux, Ubuntu).
  3. Configure security groups to allow necessary traffic (e.g., HTTP and HTTPS).

  4. Assign an Elastic IP if you need a static public IP address.

  5. Install Docker:

  6. SSH into your EC2 instance.
  7. Install Docker by following the instructions in the official Docker documentation.

  8. Verify the installation with:

    1
    docker --version

  9. Pull Martini Designer Online Docker Image:

  10. Use the following command to download the latest Martini Designer Online Docker image:

    1
    docker pull martini-designer:latest

  11. Run the Docker Container:

  12. Start the application by running the Docker container. Map the necessary ports and configure environment variables if needed:

    1
    docker run -d -p 80:80 martini-designer

  13. Access Martini Designer Online:

  14. Use the public DNS or IP address of your EC2 instance to access Martini Designer Online in your web browser.

Notes

  • A working knowledge of AWS EC2, Docker, and networking is recommended for manual setup.
  • Ensure security and access controls are in place to protect your Martini Designer Online environment.

General Considerations

  • Security Groups: Configure security groups to allow traffic on the required ports (e.g., 80 for HTTP or 443 for HTTPS).
  • Data Persistence: Consider using persistent storage (e.g., EBS volumes) to prevent data loss when the container is stopped.
  • Monitoring: Use AWS tools like CloudWatch to monitor your instance.
