Overview

This page is the entry point for the SecureAnyCloud Hardened Apache Superset, Matomo & BI and Web Analytics AMIs listing on AWS Marketplace. The listing is a single product that offers several products and releases as separate software versions. Subscribe once, choose the version you want from the Software version list at launch, then open its guide below for the full setup and connection walk-through.

What you get with every version:

  • An image built by SecureAnyCloud on a fully patched base, with the latest security updates applied at build time
  • Secure-by-default services: administrator passwords, database credentials and application secrets are generated uniquely on the first boot of each instance, so no default login exists and no two instances share a secret
  • Hourly metered pricing per EC2 instance type, the same for every version in this listing
  • A recommended instance type of m5.large

How to pick a version

  • Open the listing on AWS Marketplace, choose View purchase options, then choose Subscribe. One subscription covers every product and release in the listing, and the free trial starts with it.
  • When the subscription is active, choose Launch your software.
  • Choose One-click launch from AWS Marketplace (or Launch from EC2 Console for full control). In Version, choose the product and release you want. Each version is a separate software version, named <product> <release> on <operating system> - <date>, for example Blazer 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 - YYYY-MM-DD. The date is when that version was added to the listing.
  • Choose your Region, an instance type (m5.large is recommended), your EC2 key pair and a security group that opens the ports listed in the product's guide. Then choose Launch.
  • After launch, open the product's guide below for first login.

You can run several products from the same subscription. Launch one instance per product, each from its own software version.

The listing includes these versions, newest release first:

  • Blazer: 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Datasette: 0.65.5 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • DKAN Data Portal: 4.1.5 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • GoAccess: 1.12 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Liwan Analytics: 1.8.2 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Mathesar: 0.12.0 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Medama: 0.6.2 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • NADA: 5.6 on Ubuntu 24.04

Security model

Every version in this listing follows the same model:

  • No default login. Administrator passwords, database passwords and application secrets are generated on the first boot of each instance and written to a root-only file. No two instances share a secret.
  • Only the documented ports. Each guide lists the ports the product needs. Open only those in your security group.
  • Database port closed to the internet. Each version's default security group opens SSH, plus HTTP and HTTPS (80/443) only for versions with a web interface. None opens a database port. Reach the database port over an SSH tunnel, or allow it only from the networks of your applications, never from 0.0.0.0/0.
  • Patched base. The operating system is fully patched when the image is built.
  • HTTPS on first boot. Blazer 3.5.2, DKAN Data Portal 4.1.5, Datasette 0.65.5, GoAccess 1.12, Liwan Analytics 1.8.2, Mathesar 0.12.0, Medama 0.6.2 and NADA 5.6 (all on Ubuntu 24.04) serve HTTPS with a per-instance certificate from first boot. The other versions serve HTTP. Their guides show how to add a certificate on the instance, or behind an Application Load Balancer with AWS Certificate Manager.

How to tell which version you launched

The EC2 console shows the version you chose on the instance's launch record (AMI name and description), and your AWS Marketplace subscription shows it too. On the instance itself, the login message after SSH names the product and its credentials file. Open the matching guide above for the rest of the walk-through.
