Content
As a basis we choose the latest Ubuntu LTS from the official AWS AMI store. On top of this we did the following for the base images:
- Deactivate the default 'ubuntu' user
- Create our own 'codemonauts' user with our current SSH public key
- Activate daily unattended-updates for security patches
- Install the AWS Codedeploy agent
- Activate systemd-timesyncd to get a correct clock
- Install some basic CLI tools
Additionaly on top for the web images:
- Install Nginx and add our config snippets
- Install PHP-FPM and some PHP Modules which are used by CraftCMS
