To determine your instance's IP addresses using instance metadata

    Connect to the instance.

    Use the following command to access the private IP address:

    GET http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4

    Use the following command to access the public IP address:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.nopass
openssl x509 -req -days 1024 -in server.csr -signkey server.key.nopass -out server.crt

This will produce an base64 encoded ascii file (server.crt) that can be used as a .pem file. Use the server.key.nopass as the server key, so you don't have to enter the password on webserver restarts.

/var/lib/docker is where the data files for docker live on ubuntu

Use "Automated Build Repositories" or official images as a base for your own. You can pull the github repo for the automated build repos and build yourself. Can then modify the Dockerfile to suit your needs.

never use ec2 - exact_count paramter. This TERMINATED all the running instances except for exact_count number. This can have disatirous results, i hammered the whole cdlib dsc archivesspace server setup in AWs with this option. TODO: NEEDS to be noted in the options docs on this exact_count param.

use stete: present to create a new instance

not sure what state: running causes

always disable api termination
set to NOT DELETE on termination on ALL VOULUMES

TODO: REBUILD FROM SCRATCH: FRONT END WITH APACHE PROXY (due to nginx mangling of paths see: apache directive = <TODO: lookup>
