Deploy Nango with AWS (EC2)

These instructions only apply for free self-hosting features, not Enterprise features (feature list).

Read the self-hosting instructions before deploying to production.

Create a VM

Go to the EC2 service and click Launch Instance. Create an instance with default settings except:

• t2.medium for testing, t2.large for production
• Enable Allow HTTPS traffic from the internet and Allow HTTP traffic from the internet

Install Docker

Go to your EC2 instance page and click Connect, then Connect again on the next page to access your instance’s console via SSH.

Install Docker & Docker Compose with the following commands:

sudo yum update -y && sudo yum install -y docker && sudo service docker start && sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url  | grep docker-compose-linux-x86_64 | cut -d '"' -f 4 | wget -qi -
chmod +x docker-compose-linux-x86_64 && sudo mv docker-compose-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker-compose --version

Refresh the VM console page to activate the new configuration.

Run Nango

Still in your VM’s console, install Nango by running:

mkdir nango && cd nango
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NangoHQ/nango/master/docker-compose.yaml
docker-compose up -d # Nango is now running!

Update Nango

In your VM’s console, run:

docker-compose stop
docker-compose rm -f
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d
