ssh -i instance.pem ubunutu@

### Configuring Ubuntu on remote VM

1. Updating the outdated packages and dependencies

3. Install Git - [Guide by DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-22-04) 
4. Configure Node.js and `npm` - [Guide by DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-22-04)

### Deploying the project on AWS

1. Clone this project in the remote VM

git clone https://github.com/verma-kunal/AWS-Session.git

2. Setup the following environment variables - `(.env)` file

DOMAIN= "" PORT=3000 STATIC_DIR="./client"

PUBLISHABLE_KEY="" SECRET_KEY=""

> For this project, we'll have to set up an [Elastic IP Address](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html) for our EC2 & that would be our `DOMAIN`

3. Initialise and start the project

npm install npm run start

> NOTE - We will have to edit the **inbound rules** in the security group of our EC2, in order to allow traffic from our particular port

### Project is deployed on AWS 🎉
