Doesn't work in 2023
This image might be too old, after finishing the creation of the EC2 instance, trying to load the app does nothing, you end up with an empty page.
Setup was super easy
The setup was quite simple, we were on line in minutes. This product is working exactly as expected with better OK performance with t2.micro instance
Thank you so much
I was strugling to set it up myself, but using this was just a bliss, in less than an hour I could fully configure my forum!
