2 Easy Steps To Host WordPress Like a Magic On AWS With Amazon Lightsail

Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to help us get started with AWS very quickly in many purposes such as build website and many more. There are a lot of service that can be launched with Lightsail very quickly with low and predictable monthly price. It can be an instance (VPS), storage, container, managed database, and so on. More information about Amazon Lightsail, click here!

Alright, here we'll only do 2 things:

1. Import Key Pair
Please note that key pair defined in Lightsail is different or not associated with other AWS services like EC2 or IAM User (for CodeCommit).

$ aws lightsail import-key-pair --key-pair-name bitnami --public-key-base64 "ssh-rsa pubkey-goes-here" --region ap-southeast-1{    "operation": {        "id": "4568c408-0349-4788-a922-e9fa6c3591a7",        "resourceName": "bitnami",        "resourceType": "KeyPair",        "createdAt": 1653553305.861,        "location": {            "availabilityZone": "all",            "regionName": "ap-southeast-1"        },        "isTerminal": true,        "operationType": "ImportKeyPair",        "status": "Succeeded",        "statusChangedAt": 1653553306.012    }}

2. Create Instance
Before we create an instance, there are some parameters that we need to define. Those are BluePrint ID and Bundle ID. If you didn't know already, you can get the list with the following commands:

  • BluePrint ID details for WordPress:
$ aws lightsail get-blueprints --region ap-southeast-1 --query 'blueprints[?contains(blueprintId, `wordpress`) == `true`]'[    {        "blueprintId": "wordpress",        "name": "WordPress",        "group": "wordpress",        "type": "app",        "description": "Bitnami, the leaders in application packaging, and Automattic, the experts behind WordPress, have teamed up to offer this official WordPress image. This image is a pre-configured, ready-to-run image for running WordPress on Amazon Lightsail. WordPress is the world's most popular content management platform. Whether it's for an enterprise or small business website, or a personal or corporate blog, content authors can easily create content using its new Gutenberg editor, and developers can extend the base platform with additional features. Popular plugins like Jetpack, Akismet, All in One SEO Pack, WP Mail, Google Analytics for WordPress, and Amazon Polly are all pre-installed in this image. Let's Encrypt SSL certificates are supported through an auto-configuration script.",        "isActive": true,        "minPower": 0,        "version": "5.9.3-8",        "versionCode": "1",        "productUrl": "https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00NN8Y43U",        "licenseUrl": "https://d7umqicpi7263.cloudfront.net/eula/product/7d426cb7-9522-4dd7-a56b-55dd8cc1c8d0/588fd495-6492-4610-b3e8-d15ce864454c.txt",        "platform": "LINUX_UNIX"    },    {        "blueprintId": "wordpress_multisite",        "name": "WordPress Multisite",        "group": "wordpress_multisite",        "type": "app",        "description": "WordPress Multisite is ideal for organizations such as universities, corporations, and agencies that need to enable many people to host and manage their own websites while giving overall control to a central administrator. These websites can all have unique domain names and layouts while sharing assets such as themes and plugins. Popular plugins like Jetpack, Akismet, All in One SEO Pack, WP Mail, Google Analytics for WordPress, and Amazon Polly are all pre-installed in this image. Let's Encrypt SSL certificates are supported through an auto-configuration script. This image is certified by Bitnami as secure, up-to-date, and packaged using industry best practices.",        "isActive": true,        "minPower": 0,        "version": "5.9.3-8",        "versionCode": "1",        "productUrl": "https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00NN8XE6S",        "licenseUrl": "https://d7umqicpi7263.cloudfront.net/eula/product/2f1d4d67-324b-41d7-8af9-b7860d269c6d/6338ef47-28a8-482d-b57a-4859280a021e.txt",        "platform": "LINUX_UNIX"    }]
  • Bundle ID for the cheapest one ($3.5 for nano 2.0):
$ aws lightsail get-bundles --query 'bundles[0]' --region ap-southeast-1{    "price": 3.5,    "cpuCount": 1,    "diskSizeInGb": 20,    "bundleId": "nano_2_0",    "instanceType": "nano",    "isActive": true,    "name": "Nano",    "power": 300,    "ramSizeInGb": 0.5,    "transferPerMonthInGb": 1024,    "supportedPlatforms": [        "LINUX_UNIX"    ]}

Now, let's create the instance!

$ aws lightsail create-instances --instance-names wp-instance --availability-zone ap-southeast-1a --blueprint-id wordpress --bundle-id nano_2_0 --key-pair-name bitnami --region ap-southeast-1{    "operations": [        {            "id": "b4324f47-a520-4424-b99c-ad026c50546b",            "resourceName": "wp-instance",            "resourceType": "Instance",            "createdAt": 1653555007.628,            "location": {                "availabilityZone": "ap-southeast-1a",                "regionName": "ap-southeast-1"            },            "isTerminal": false,            "operationType": "CreateInstance",            "status": "Started",            "statusChangedAt": 1653555007.628        }    ]}$ aws lightsail get-instances --region ap-southeast-1 --query 'instances[].[name, location, blueprintId, bundleId, privateIpAddress, publicIpAddress]'[    [        "wp-instance",        {            "availabilityZone": "ap-southeast-1a",            "regionName": "ap-southeast-1"        },        "wordpress",        "nano_2_0",        "172.26.13.11",        "18.141.24.138"    ]]

Let's check it by doing SSH, then access it through web browser!

$ ssh [email protected] programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;the exact distribution terms for each program are described in theindividual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extentpermitted by applicable law.       ___ _ _                   _      | _ |_) |_ _ _  __ _ _ __ (_)      | _ \ |  _| ' \/ _` | '  \| |      |___/_|\__|_|_|\__,_|_|_|_|_|  *** Welcome to the WordPress packaged by Bitnami 5.9.3-8         ***  *** Documentation:  https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/wordpress/ ***  ***                 https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/                ***  *** Bitnami Forums: https://community.bitnami.com/               ***bitnami@ip-172-26-13-11:~$ cat bitnami_application_password KPInbPj1giRB

Because we have the password now and the default username is user, let's go through dashboard!

WordPress

WordPress Login

WordPress Dashboard

It's a wrap! In case you want to delete them, just run delete command delete-instance & delete-key-pair!

That's it! Thank you for coming and I'm looking forward to your feedback. Follow me to get notified when my new post is published!
