I'm trying to set up a Mastodon server on AWS instance. Apparently bitnami needs to generate a certificate. Using the bncert-tool, I get a "timed out" error, saying likely a firewall issue.
Using these instructions: https://oqtacore.com/blog/10-steps-to-create-a-free-mastodon-server/
sudo /opt/bitnami/configure_app_domain --domain yourdoma.in This resolved the domain names and the IP address fine.
sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool --domains yourdoma.in Timed out. I expected to get a valid certificate.
SOLVED I just needed to add the rules to the security group for the instance to access http and https. Then bitnami generated a certificate just fine. (Always simple after the fact.)
