GlassFlow on AWS EC2

Create a new EC2 instance using the Amazon Linux 2 AMI

Optionally, update the instance’s security group to allow inbound traffic on port 8080 (TCP).

Log in to the instance and install Git and Docker:

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y amazon-linux-extras git
sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker -y
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER
sudo systemctl enable docker

After adding your user to the Docker group, log out and log back in for the changes to take effect, or run:

newgrp docker

Install Docker Compose:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Restart your terminal session and verify Docker and Docker Compose installation:

docker info
docker-compose version

Clone the GlassFlow repository:

git clone https://github.com/glassflow/clickhouse-etl.git

Start the services using Docker Compose:

cd clickhouse-etl
docker compose up -d

Access the GlassFlow UI by visiting:

http://<instance-public-ip>:8080

Replace <instance-public-ip> with your EC2 instance’s public IPv4 address found in the AWS EC2 Console.
