This readme covers linux server configuration process for the final project of Udacity's Full Stack Nanodegree.
IP address: 18.217.92.66
SSH Port: 2200
URL: http://ec2-18-217-92-66.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/
To access the site, simply visit http://18.217.92.66 or http://ec2-18-217-92-66.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/ in your preferred browser. The app utilizes Google oauth, so a google account is necessary to create/update/delete within the app.
