Deploy Lightwave on AWS
Select US West (Oregon) zone. Go to your EC2 web console, click 'AMIs' and browse to your PhotonOS AMI, right click to choose launch instance from where we will set up lightwave domain with first domain controller, i.e. 'lightwave-dc01' and subsequent domain replica, i.e. 'lightwave-dc02' etc. The 't2.small' should be sufficient to run lightwave domain controller.
Go to 'instances' and find the Photon instance we just launched in step 2. Right-click to show 'connect'. You will need set up ssh key the first time you establish ssh connection to your instance running in AWS. Subsequently you can choose to use an existing key when launching VM. A typical ssh command to connect to AWS instance is
ssh -i "wfu-lightwave.pem" root@ec2-52-42-33-170.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Once logged in, run the following command to open all needed protocols/ports.
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 88 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 88 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 389 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 636 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 2012 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 2014 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 2015 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
echo "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 2020 -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/systemd/scripts/iptables
This can also be done through AWS web console by configuring 'security groups' such as
Security Groups associated with i-04a9fe9b2b97c5173

Connect to your instance via ssh, update your hosts file '/etc/hosts/' to append as mentioned below; 172.31.1.242 is the private IP address of the AWS instance, lw-dc01 can be any host name, preferably instance name.
172.31.1.242 lw-dc01.lightwave.local lw-dc01
You should be able to retrieve your host IpAddr with 'ifconfig' on eth0. Additionally run:
hostnamectl set-hostname lw-dc01
Remove docker packages from the photon os instance. Run following commands to remove docker from the vm instance.
# systemctl stop docker
# systemctl disable docker
# tdnf remove docker
# ip link del docker0
vi /etc/systemd/network/10-dhcp-en.network
In the section of [Network] append:
DNS=172.31.5.222 //This is the private IPAddr of first lightwave instance
Domains=lightwave.local //This is the lightwave domain name we intend to set up
Make sure you run
systemctl restart systemd-networkd; systemctl restart systemd-resolved
to allow network/hostname configuration take effect on your VM instance.
Connect to your VM instance via ssh
tdnf makecache
(Require a specific version of 3rd dependency will be fixed in future lightwave server release)
tdnf install -y commons-daemon-1.0.15-8.ph1 openjre-1.8.0.112 apache-tomcat-8.5.8
tdnf install -y vmware-lightwave-server-1.2.0
/opt/vmware/bin/configure-lightwave-server --domain <domain name> --password <password>
Repeat Step 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 where we install and configure another instance.
/opt/vmware/bin/configure-lightwave-server --domain <domain name> --password <password> --server <1st_lightwave_server_fqdn>
You can choose to bring up more lightwave domain controllers in the same lightwave domain by repeating step 8 and 9 above.
