mupx Deployment on AWS EC2

Process for deploying multiple meteor 1.3 apps to a single aws ec2 instance pointing at the same mongo db at version 3.2.

Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS

Configure instance security group

It is important to configure your security group with the following entry which allows for the instance to connect to mongodb as we will turn OFF the automatically created db by mupx.

Type	Protocol	Port Range	Source
Custom TCP Rule	TCP	27017	hostname

Connect to instance

ssh -i ~/.ssh/pemfilename.pem ubuntu@hostname

Install and configure nginx

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

sample config for default

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ''     close;
}

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name yourdomain.com;
        location / {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;

                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        }
}

or if you have ssl

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ''     close;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name yourdomain.com;
        ssl_certificate     /path/to/name.chained.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /path/to/name.key;
        
        location / {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        }
