ec2-squid

Start up a proxy server (squid) on AWS EC2.

Usage

Initialize

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f squid_key -N ""  # or ssh-keygen -t rsa -f squid_key -N '""' in PowerShell
terraform init

Deploy

You can deploy a proxy server by terraform apply. You'll need to prepare your AWS profile for deploy in advance. You may want to use aws-vault and add aws-vault exec <profile> -- as a prefix of the command.

You can set terraform variables via e.g. terraform.tfvars or -var option (like terraform apply -var='aws_region=ap-northeast-1'). The currently used variables (and their default values) are as follows.

aws_region = "ap-northeast-1"
project_code = null  # used as ProjectCode tag

Please note that you need the same variables setting also when you destroy the instance. Otherwise some resources may not be deleted.

Use

• The public IP and DNS of the proxy server are displayed after deploy. The port number is 3128.
• SSH login command will be like ssh -i squid_key ec2-user@<public IP>.
• Logs on start-up are stored at /var/log/cloud-init-output.log in the instance.

Destroy

terraform destroy
