Amazon EC2 Automatic Setup
Sometimes it can be desirable to automatically configure LiquidFiles, bypassing the initial Getting Started pages.
This can be achieved by specifying Amazon EC2 User-Data when the system is initiated.
To specify EC2 User Data, please see the Amazon Documentation.
Example Configuration
{ "agree_to_end_user_license_agreement": true, "hostname": "liquidfiles.company.com", "timezone": "UTC", "license_code": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "email_sender_address": "info@company.com", "email_relay_server": "mail.company.com", "email_relay_username": "test", "email_relay_password": "password", "sysadmin_name": "User Company", "sysadmin_email": "admin@company.com", "sysadmin_password": "password" }
In the example above, all parameters are required except email_relay_server, email_relay_username and email_relay_password. You only need to specify those if you require those configurations to be added.
If any parameters are missing or there are any errors, there will be errors written to /var/log/cloud-init.log.
Please Note that it's only possible to configure licensed LiquidFiles instances automatically using EC2 User Data. If you want to setup a trial version, you have to use the Getting Started pages.
Please continue on the EC2 installation page.
