Using Appsmith On AWS

Issue

I have installed Appsmith on an AWS EC2 instance but I don't know how to use it to develop apps. I need help connecting to Appsmith and deploying apps to the instance. I couldn't find any documentation on this. Can someone guide me on this?

Resolution

  1. Access Appsmith on EC2:
    • Open a browser and navigate to http://<your-ec2-public-ip>:<port>. Typically, Appsmith runs on ports 80 or 8080.
  2. Develop Applications:
    • Use Appsmith’s GUI builder to drag and drop components, connect to APIs, databases, or other services directly from the dashboard.
  3. Deploy Applications:
    • In the Appsmith dashboard, click the Deploy button.
    • Deploy the app and access it via the instance’s public IP in your browser.

For detailed installation and configuration instructions, refer to the Appsmith AWS Installation Guide.
