Mirth Connect will be available at https://serverip:8443. The default credentials for Mirth Connect are admin/admin.

You can SSH into the instance with the user ec2-user and your configured keypair.

The User Guide is here .

A local PostgreSQL 15 server is also installed, and is used by Mirth Connect by default. You can point to an external database instead if you wish, see the User Guide  for the correct configuration options, and see below for sample user data you can use during launch.

By default, Mirth Connect is configured to use 50% of the system RAM (Java max heap size).

For pre-configuration at AMI launch time, you can use this sample User Data script:

#!/bin/bash

# Set property in mirth.properties
#
# setmirthprop key value

# Set startup Java virtual machine option
#
# If both key and value are provided, key=value will be set, overwriting any existing line with that key.
#
# NOTE: The JVM options already include -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=50, so the max Java heap size will be ~50% of the available system RAM. You can set a different percentage, or override it by setting -Xmx instead.
#
# setmirthvmopt value
# setmirthvmopt key value

# Get value from AWS Secrets Manager, and set in mirth.properties
#
# Example with plaintext secret (replace the region and secret-id):
# setmirthprop database.password $(aws secretsmanager get-secret-value --region us-east-1 --secret-id dbPassword | jq -r .SecretString)
#
# Example with key/value secret (replace the region, secret-id, and key):
# setmirthprop database.password $(aws secretsmanager get-secret-value --region us-east-1 --secret-id dbPassword | jq -r .SecretString | jq -r .DB_PASSWORD)

# Get extension from S3 and install
#
# aws s3 cp s3://bucketname/extension.zip .
# sudo unzip extension.zip -d /opt/mirthconnect/extensions/
# sudo chown -R mirth:mirth /opt/mirthconnect/extensions/name

# Get keystore from S3
#
# aws s3 cp s3://bucketname/keystore.jks . 
# sudo chown mirth:mirth keystore.jks
# sudo mv keystore.jks /opt/mirthconnect/appdata/keystore.jks
# setmirthprop keystore.storepass STOREPASS
# setmirthprop keystore.keypass KEYPASS

# If you made any config/extension changes, restart Mirth Connect 
# sudo systemctl restart mirthconnect
