AWS Marketplace offer - getting started with BlockApps STRATO on AWS
- On the AWS marketplace search for the keyword "blockapps" or "blockchain" and you'll find our listed offer (with a 5-day free trial edition).
This individual STRATO instance (private blockchain node, self-contained and sufficient for prototyping and light POC's) provides a RESTful web API on the HTTP port for querying the blockchain and compiling and uploading contracts.
Steps to run STRATO Developer Edition using the AWS marketplace AMI:
All the setup is already done for you in the packaged AMI, just run the startup script to launch the platform services.
- Step 1: Login to your AWS account or create one if you don't already have one.
- Step 2: Deploy a new EC2 instance from the BlockApps STRATO AMI, with at least 20 GB of space on the root volume.
- Step 3: SSH to your newly deployed node (user: ubuntu).
- Step 4: Run strato-admin script (takes about 10-20secs to see all docker containers running):
$ ./strato-admin.sh --start
Note: if the instance services do not come up within a minute, you can restart the services using:
./strato-admin.sh --stop
./strato-admin.sh --start
*The single instance will provide the following (all on port 80):
username: admin
password: ec2-instanceID
