Simple short and concise! Thank you for posting this tutorial. It's very helpful for someone who have little idea about how to host applications on cloud, especially with AWS where there are so many different options to configure a service
Thank you. This is very good starter! It's important for people who never ran such kind of APIs. Connection to instances and AWS security stuff can be difficult, and here provided very minimum but robust case. Like & use it guys.
Hi, I'm a novice and I just started an instance and successfully and my API 😊 The only hiccup I encountered was when I attempted to pull the github repo. I did not have a SSH or token. Once I created my personal token and was able to login I saw my tiny json object in the browser calling out to mama that it was running. Thank you!
Brother tu eres un CRANEO! I spent weeks on this and gave up. just couldn't do it. Ran through your tutorial and finally got it working in les than an hour. Would you happen to have anything similar for lambdas? either way you got yourself a like and a follow
Thank you for this tutorial Jonathan, it has been very clear and concise! Just one question. I'd like to keep the server running and connected permanent. How can I do that with AWS? Because in the moment I closed the terminal, the server shutted down. In this case, there isn't much difference with running it on localhost. Thank you in advance!
Beautiful! Thank You! I have 2 questions. (1) How can we set security headers, if I want to allow only one url to hit the API, though that is under dynamic IP protocol, so I cannot restrict inbound security to one IP? (2) How can I add a custom domain to this, so instead of the IP address we see a specific domain name? Thank you in advance for your insights!
Very helpful 🙏🏼 I have two questions 1. If i want to call the API you published, do i need to use VPN or something? 2. How to connect that ec2 instance to dns service on AWS ? Thank you 👏🏼
Do the following at the root of your application: 1. cat > .env 2. paste your environment variables and exit. 3. nano .env to update your environment variables. I hope it helps ☺
very good... But when i close the SSH/Putty terminal my application down too... How i do to stay UP application same i close de SSH or Putty terminal ?
Hope you got it resolved, but if you haven't, at the bottom of this article you will find how to persist the API running using a tool like PM2 jonathans199.medium.com/how-to-deploy-node-express-api-to-ec2-instance-in-aws-bc038a401156
very goo tutorial, very thank you i have one question i want the web server keeping run, but when i close the terminal, the webserver will turn off what can i do to keep web server running
At this stage, unfortunately is a manual process of pushing your changes to GH and pulling the changes from the server. But for true CI/CD we could use Github Actions to able to accomplish this, hope this gives some direction, but definitely a good next tutorial to create.
I've upload my API to an EC2 instance, but the API only works if I access the machine using SSH and run the start command. How can I do my API run all the time?
For this one is a bit more involved, but here is an article that I wrote a while back, that might help. medium.com/@jonathans199/how-to-apply-ssl-for-https-to-node-express-api-in-aws-ec2-instance-acd43dcbfd4
Do the following at the root of your application: 1. cat > .env 2. paste your environment variables and exit. 3. nano .env to update your environment variables.
yes except you'll have to use the Amazon AMI commands to install the missing packages, using yum but you could use this curl -o- raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh nvm install node then install the version of node you need like this nvm install 16
On my first attempt the intance worked fine. I created another inctance following the same steps. But API is not working. The URL (public IP address with port) doesn't simply respond even though I have included port number in IPv4 in inboud rules.
I could be wrong but can't you copy the .env file from your system to the server directory inside the ec2 instance? It'll then be able to read the env file
Yes correct, you could copy your local .env file into the Ubuntu EC2 instance, but this could be a bit more involved, so you could just make a new .env file on the server and copy/paste the Environment variables there.

very goo tutorial, very thank you
i have one question

what can i do to keep web server running
Same question i have.
you need to use PM2, he left those steps on his medium article link in his description
Thank you sir.
I have a question.. If I launch an EC2 instance like this and I hit aprox 50-100 requests will it start charging me?
could you please make same thing for golang API..?
It works your a genius, but now how do i do to leave it running while i close aws?
never mind i found it in your medium article thanks man
Good tutorial thanks a lot. How do you handle re deploying updates?
At this stage, unfortunately is a manual process of pushing your changes to GH and pulling the changes from the server.
But for true CI/CD we could use Github Actions to able to accomplish this, hope this gives some direction, but definitely a good next tutorial to create.
Is there a way to use port 80 for don't specify the port?
I've upload my API to an EC2 instance, but the API only works if I access the machine using SSH and run the start command. How can I do my API run all the time?
Fantastic！ is there a Windows pc demo or source？Thanks
Super!
how to set up the https for the bare ip address because it is running on http
For this one is a bit more involved, but here is an article that I wrote a while back, that might help.
medium.com/@jonathans199/how-to-apply-ssl-for-https-to-node-express-api-in-aws-ec2-instance-acd43dcbfd4
if you want to access it with HTTPS, is a load balancer required?
Do you know how to fix SSL not working? I can access the IP with http but not https
hello brother,
I have a question where I can find the .env file in node js ec2 AWS ubuntu instance and how I can update it
Do the following at the root of your application:
1. cat > .env
2. paste your environment variables and exit.
3. nano .env to update your environment variables.
Hi thank you for the tutorial. How about amazon linux aws ? Is it the same process? ?
yes except you'll have to use the Amazon AMI commands to install the missing packages, using yum
but you could use this
curl -o- raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install node
then install the version of node you need like this
nvm install 16
On my first attempt the intance worked fine. I created another inctance following the same steps. But API is not working. The URL (public IP address with port) doesn't simply respond even though I have included port number in IPv4 in inboud rules.
Did you fix that ?
If yes, how did you?
@@sivaharishm314 It looks like instance was working fine. I just copied the IPv4 address and pasted into the browser. It worked!
how to add env variables?
So basically you'll need to create the .env file manually on the server via nano or vim. Let me know if that makes sense.
@@JonathansanchezdevThank you! It makes complete sense. Ill try nano :) Thank you!
genio
Gracias ojala te aya servido de algo
it worked only one time can you help now when i try it says unable to connect
Te amo
I'm getting Cannot GET / error, what to do?
Api Not working with production frontend

How will I set environment variables in ec2 instance? Will I create another .env file in the ec2 instance?
Did you figure it out?
I could be wrong but can't you copy the .env file from your system to the server directory inside the ec2 instance? It'll then be able to read the env file
Yes correct, you could copy your local .env file into the Ubuntu EC2 instance, but this could be a bit more involved, so you could just make a new .env file on the server and copy/paste the Environment variables there.
