how to run a static site on bitnami and AWS?


I am quite a noob when it comes to cloud based apps, this is a completely new context for me. I currently got the github education pack, part of it was an account on bitnami. I was wondering if it's possible to host a static html site on bitnami, I tried a few things but so far I got no where. I know that i can deploy a wordpress or drupal instance and then I can configure a theme for those, but I just want a simple static html site to run. Any guidance on how I can do that?


Solution

  • To host static website using Bitnami try following steps.

    1. Run an AWS instance from marketplace using 'LAMP Stack powered by Bitnami' AMI. This AMI will have pre-configured LAMP stack.
    2. Attach EIP to your Instance
    3. Upload you website files to /var/www/html/
    4. Type your EIP in browser and if everything went right you should be able to see your website.
