Is anybody interested in collaborating on an EC2 install guide based on
Stephen Cottham's 22/01/2013 Ubuntu 12.10 headless guide? I've got it
running, but as I've never administered a server before the learning
curve was quite steep.
I have worked out all the necessary modifications to the guide up to
step 12 (encryption), as well as a quick guide to securely administering
using AWS. What I really need help on is securing the server itself -
iptables, fail2ban, chkrootkit, etc. I haven't been able to find any
info on configuring reasonable security on an Openmeetings install.
My thinking is to eventually publish an unofficial AMI, lowering the
barrier of getting a server up and running, and perhaps increasing the
number of people discovering client side bugs and quirks to be fixed.
Maybe not what is desired at his stage of development? :)
I have the time to test and update the guide for each major update.
