irods-aws

Installs a minimal iRODS installation with iDrop Web 2 on an Amazon Machine Image.

This is meant to be installed on an Ubuntu 12.04 Amazon Machine Image. To find an appropriate target, see http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/

Use the following process to bootstrap the AWS image by copying it into user-data. The process:

• installs git,
• clones this repository,
• downloads and installs iRODS and iDrop Web 2, and their dependencies,
• installs a cron job to update the iDrop Web 2 config on hostname changes.

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get -y install git
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/beppodb/irods-aws
cd /opt/irods-aws
./deploy.sh 4.0.3 4.0.3 4.0.3-with-v1.4-database-plugins 1.4
sudo shred -u /etc/ssh/*_key /etc/ssh/*_key.pub
sudo shred -u /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo shred -u /home/ubuntu/.*history
sudo shred -u /var/log/lastlog
sudo shred -u /var/log/wtmp
sudo touch /var/log/lastlog
sudo touch /var/log/wtmp
history -c

The resultant iRODS installation has a single user with a password that is generated randomly on creation of the instance. Instructions for setting a new password are in ./per-once/motd.tail, which is displayed at instance login.
