Configuration for a node EC2 instance

[Barrett Griffith]

Does anyone have a good approach for configuring an EC2 instance for use a node?

What should the apache configuration be? What ports do I need to open up?

I am having difficulties getting the server to send jobs to the node if it is on a separate instance.

I have got as far as node starting and pinging the server, (checking in), but after this, the server cannot communicate with the node.

Has anyone set up their own node instances? Any heads up on configuration would be appreciated.

Best,
Barrett

Hey Barret.

CloudCrowd nodes use their server's hostname to tell the central server where they are. You need to make sure that if you run hostname on the remote machine, it returns a DNS name that's accessible from the central server. On EC2, it's often not.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for answering. This helps me understand why my node can't be
reached.

I am setting this up to see if this can fix this issue that I am hitting:
