Fixes #31.

Changes compared to Ruby on Rails basic example:

  • description
  • install git and clone Matreon
    • workaround: use custom branch with MySQL for production
  • reduced number of supported instances and locations, so there's fewer tedious tables to maintain
    • supported instance types: t2.micro, t2.small and t2.medium
    • supported locations: Frankfurt (eu-central-1b)
  • hardcoded database name and user
  • bump ruby version

TODO:

  • install NVM and yarn
  • run yarn install
  • maybe switch from Amazon Linux to Ubuntu (18.04 ami-331d3bd8)
  • use Postgres (for Heroku compatibility)
  • get rid of database password prompts in template
  • use ENV instead of replacing database.yml
  • configure FROM_EMAIL, BUGS_TO, PODCAST, PODCAST_TITLE, PODCAST_IMAGE, PODCAST_URL
  • https support (using SSL certificate manager?)
  • bitcoind
  • c-lightning (open inbound port)
  • Lightning Charge
  • run crons
  • configure SMTP params
  • run Rails server in production env
  • run Rails server as normal user and forward port 80/443
  • run everything as services, with auto recovery where possible
  • setup monitoring for various components
  • backup instructions / tool (private keys, transaction metadata, Matreon database)
  • accelerate IBD by launching temporary heavy-duty instance, pruning it and then copying the data
  • upgrade commands / instructions (OS, bitcoind, c-lightning and Matreon)

It might make more sense to start with a Bitcoin Core + Lightning + Charged template, since that would be useful for other projects as well. Then add the Rails stuff later.

Or maybe I should consider Docker instead? That’s also a bit more portable. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/docker-basics.html
