Install pump.io on Amazon EC2

doit.sh

sudo apt-get update
# get ec2 ip and hostname
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4 > public.ip
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname > public.hostname

sudo apt-get install --yes build-essential curl git
#install latest node
sudo apt-get install --yes python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --yes nodejs

sudo apt-get install --yes graphicsmagick

git clone https://github.com/e14n/pump.io.git

cd pump.io; npm install; npm install gm; cd ..;

cp pump.io/pump.io.json.sample del.txt

# delete these lines
sed -i '/key/d' del.txt
sed -i '/cert/d' del.txt

# replace example.com and org
sed -e "s/example.com/`cat public.hostname`/g" del.txt > temp && mv temp del.txt
sed -e "s/example.org/`cat public.hostname`/g" del.txt > temp && mv temp del.txt
sed -e "s/pumpio.localhost/`cat public.hostname`/g" del.txt > temp && mv temp del.txt
sed -e "s/\/var\/local\/pump.io\/uploads/uploads/g" del.txt > temp && mv temp del.txt

#replace username
sed -e "s/\"pumpio\"/\"ubuntu\"/g" del.txt > temp && mv temp del.txt

# replace databank driver
sed -e "s/disk/memory/g" del.txt > temp && mv temp del.txt

# use redis
sudo apt-get --yes install redis-server
cd pump.io; npm install databank-redis; cd ..

sed -e "s/memory/redis/g" del.txt > temp && mv temp del.txt
sed -e "s/\"dir\": \"\/tmp\/pumpio\/\"/\"host\":\"localhost\",\"port\":6379/g" del.txt > temp && mv temp del.txt

# move the config file 
sudo mv del.txt /etc/pump.io.json

screen -S pumpserver -L -dm bash -c "cd pump.io; npm start"

One thing that is missing here is creating a dedicated pumpio user.

Hi,

Sorry missed your post earlier.

I have done pretty much the same, except that I use mongodb instead of redis. Everything looks fine but I have no clue how this site works. If I point the web browser to http://my-host-ip:8000, do I expect to see anything? I have an apache server running on the same host and http://my-host-ip will bring up the welcome page ("The site has been setup..."). What is the additional things that I need to do in order to bring up the registration page?

Thank you for the help.

Y.Z.
