Charitable Proceeds

10% of the proceeds of using our cloud images will go to charity to support orphaned kids in El Salvador - .

Shalom Children's Home

Shalom Children’s Home () is one of the ministries that is dear to our hearts located in El Salvador. During the 12 year civil war that ended in 1990, many children were left orphaned or abandoned by parents who fled El Salvador. The Benners saw the need to help these children and received 13 children in 1982. Little by little, more children came on their own, churches and the government brought children to them for care, and the Shalom Children’s Home was founded.

Shalom now cares for over 80 children in El Salvador, from newborns to 18 years old. They receive shelter, clothing, food, medical care, education and life skills training in a Christian environment. The home is supported by a child sponsorship program.

We have personally supported Shalom for over 6 years now; it is a place of blessing for many children in El Salvador that either have no families or have been abandoned. This is good earth to seed and plant.

In this section you will find all the server images we have created so you can run on AWS as either EC2 instances or ECS Containers.

EC2 Instance

What is an ec2 instance? It is simply a virtual machine running in the AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud. EC2 stands for Elastic Compute Cloud. An on-demand ec2 instance is a virtual machine that a user can rent by the minute, hour or annually, which ever his use need may dictate. Ortus Solutions has seen a long need to bring Lucee servers to the AWS cloud. What are it's benefits? You can have a site up and running in minutes without going through configuration hell. There are many people still running legacy applications who see a need to upgrade for security purposes or modernization reasons. It just makes since to remove your servers from on premises providers and move to the cloud. If you want customization on the AMI image we can help you.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/concepts.html

Getting Box Powers

Becoming a box hero is a fairly straight forward process:

Here is the link to install your Remote Development extension to VSCode. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack Once you have your extension installed you will need some assets to get started.

1. Windows Password

2. Public EC2 IP address

3. pem file location that you created when you built your EC2 instance

Next let's open VSCode. Hold this key combination Ctrl +Shift + P and type Config. You will see some options. Select Remote-SSH: Open Configuration File.... This will open a file for you that has been prefilled with this information. If IdentityFile is not there add it please. Replace EC2 Public IP in the hostname and IdentityFile. Give the real name and and location of the pem file. Copy your Windows Password to the clipboard. Now go to the bottom left corner of VSCode. You will see a green square. Hover your mouse over it. It should say "Open a remote window." Click the green square. Select Remote-SSH: Connect to Host... Select your Alias whatever you put in for Alias. It should open a dropdown box asking for the password for windows. Put in your password and hit the enter key. A new instance of VSCode will open. The green rectangle where you launched from should read "SSH:Alias-name."

Now let's run this keyboard combination command Ctrl + Shift + E this will open the file explorer window where your web site files are on the EC2 instance. Click the "Open Folder" blue bar. It will try and send you to C:\Users\Administrator change to:

This is going to allow you to have direct access to the files on your EC2 instances. CommandBox is preloaded so you can create any views, handlers and things of that nature.

Where is my web site located at?

You have a default ColdBox Template site running at C:\inetpub\wwwroot in the IIS "Default Web Site." If you want a different site you can remove all folders except BIN and WEB-INF. But before you do that familiarize yourself with how to access the site and the Lucee administrator. It is fairly simple the site is at http://localhost/ (web site) http://localhost/lucee/admin/server.cfm (Lucee Administrator)

The Lucee Password is the EC2 Instance ID. Once on the server we strongly urge you to change this password immediately.

Boncode Connector for IIS.

According to the author of Boncode: "This is the modern method of connecting IIS and Apache Tomcat. Most likely to use a Lucee or JSP driven backend. The BonCode AJP (Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3) Connector uses already existing pathways to connect to Apache Tomcat. The AJP implementation is generic and will work to connect IIS with any AJP server such as Jboss, web-methods, Jetty etc. In general it is a preference question how you connect IIS to Tomcat, though, there are several advantages with the BonCode connector vs the old ISAPI connector."

Requirements

• To be subscribed to Virtual Machine offer

This page will explain the necessary sites to run Contentbox 5 on your AWS Cloud site. Let's take care of some homework first. The GUI part of the Lucee admin is disabled on Contentbox 5. The sites are at: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site1 | C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site2 Commandbox is at C:\box All Lucee admin functionality can be ministered maintained via the Commandbox module CFConfig. Here is a link to get you started with that. To see your Lucee admin settings open a CLI and open a box shell and run. cfconfig show

Now let's get Contentbox configured and running on the demo site. If you are an experienced user then create your own site. Here are the steps to get that first site running.

1. Open a browser and if you have not run this at the bottom of the page you will need to or do it by hand. Paste this URL into your browser and go. http://luceesite1.com

Due these Cloud Servers are Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for AWS based, you can follow this to know more about base software running.

Environment variables

Default site

For every Linux based BoxLang Cloud Server a Systemd daemon is used to get up and running a Web Server on well know HTTP port 80/TCP. Depending of the server flavor this can be started using BoxLang MiniServer or CommandBox. If you want to start a custom site or application, you can update this daemon service if need it, or just only place your custom site or application under /web/boxlang-site/wwwroot directory.

Now that you have a site running in the cloud you will want to customize it. Remember that SSH pem file you downloaded. That is going to allow you to go on the server and edit files. If you are on a windows, Mac or Linux platform, here are some tools I strongly suggest that you get locally. The instructions below are for Windows but all of these tools are available for all 3 platforms.

1. CommandBox. This tool will allow you to make files and remove them locally. If you so decide that you want to edit and add files directly on the EC2 instance this can be done using the default instance of CommandBox on the server. https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/

2. VSCode the editor of choice, and the reason I say that is because it has so many useful extensions. https://code.visualstudio.com/download

3. WinSCP the default file manager tool for Windows.

If you are using the Windows Package Manager you can download all of these from there.

Here is a script to download them in Powershell. Save the script as anything.ps1. Remember where you saved it. With PowerShell, you must make sure is not Restricted. We suggest using Bypass to bypass the policy to get things installed or AllSigned for quite a bit more security.

• Run Get-ExecutionPolicy. If it returns Restricted, then run Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned or Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process.

Go to the right corner of the dialog box below and copy this script and save it naming it whatever you like as long as the extension ends as *.ps1

If your scripts successfully installed you should see a new desktop icon for VSCode. If you open a shell ( CMD, Powershell, git bash ) and type box you should see that CommandBox is installed.

This AMI image will create a running BoxLang server with CFML compatibility module for you. If you do not want a ColdBox site we will show you how to remove it and have your own site. The first step is to have an AWS account. If you do not have one go to this URL to learn how to create an [AWS account.]( https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-and-activate-aws-account/)

Choose the BoxLang with CommandBox for Windows AWS AMI. Go to this URL and do a search for Ortus at the top of the screen https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/ and look for "Ortus solutions, corp"

Click the View purchase options to subscribe button

Configuration options for subscription. In this section you can choose to add options to your contract, if not, You can click on "Continue configuration" button.

You can configure your Ortus Soluction software version or region, if not, just click on "Continue to Launch" button.

In "Launch" section you can choose method to launch, for this case, We're going to use EC2 method.

This will take you to the "Choose an Instance Type." The default instance and AWS free tier selected is m4.large. Unless you need more resources keep it at this. If You desire or You do not have Key pair, You can generate new ones in "Key pair (login)" section. On the "Network settings" section under "Firewall (Security groups)". We need to make a couple of changes. First is to go to the source column and select My IP so that SSH and RDP will only be enabled for your IP address (VERY IMPORTANT). Next allow HTTP and HTTPS. You can edit VPC, Subnet and Public IP configuration. On "Configure Storage" section. If you want to persist your files, then add a volume. If you do not need to persist the files, keep the defaults.

Select your running instance. This will open some tabs at the bottom of the page. Select the "Description" tab. Look to the right on the description tab and look for "Public DNS (IPv4)." To the right of this text is the DNS name. Copy that name and paste it in a browser. It should look something like this ec2-{public_dns}.compute-1.amazonaws.com.

Paste that URL in a browser and you should see the default ColdBox site.

Connect to your EC2 instance using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or SSH to perform the following commands for creating a new handler in ColdBox Sample Application

Change your current directory to C:\inetpub\wwwroot and run box command to launch CommandBox CLI

Now, you can update system dependencies typing update --system. create a new handler for testing using coldbox create handler type=index name=helloFromBoxLangCloudServer command

ENJOY YOUR CLOUD SERVER!
