Deploy Binderhub on EC2 with Terraform

Create a file called "terraform.tfvars" with the content:

region             = "<AWS region>" (defaults to eu-west-2)
ami                = "<Ubuntu AMI for this region>" (defaults to ami-0194c3e07668a7e36)
key_name           = "<your key name>"
key_path           = "<path to your private key>"
dockerhub_username = "<your Dockerhub username>"
dockerhub_password = "<your Dockerhub password>"

Then run

terraform init
terraform apply

and take note of the URLs that are output at the end of the installation process.

(Don't forget to run terraform destroy when you have finished with it!)

You can run a Kubernetes dashboard by logging on to the instance with SSH, runnning sudo minikube dashboard --url and forwarding the appropriate port.

If you want to install Binderhub from a particular repo or branch, you can uncomment the # install dev version section in bootstrap.sh and comment out the # install prod version section.
