Describe the problem and improvement.
When reviewing the AWS AMI self hosting documentation, it lacks specific instructions on how to SSH into the server:
- how to use the keypair generated for the EC2 instance
- which username to use in the SSH command (some AWS users might assume
ec2-user
if they've only used Amazon Linux)
Additionally, notes on security groups are sparse and may lead users to leave port 22
open to the internet.
I'd suggest the following changes:
- instructions on how to use the SSH keypair generated for Appsmith
- example of the SSH command used (includes using alternate private key, correct username)
- give example of security group rule for SSH access, limited to a single IP address
