@Frez put together a tutorial on how to set up Discourse on EC2 in a _supported_ way that _actually works_:

> [@Install Discourse on Amazon Web Services (AWS)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-discourse-on-amazon-ws-with-cloudflare/37323):
>
> warning This installation method is not officially endorsed. Use at your own risk. The Discourse team only recommend installation using the [official install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) This guide originally included information about cloudflare, but @pfaffman thinks that conflating AWS and cloudflare is a bad idea. If you’re an AWS user, AWS Cloudfront makes much more sense than Cloudflare. @pfaffman edited this a good bit on 2022.11.21; if something seems broken, blame me. If it works, thank the original auth…

I’d highly recommend that you follow these instructions.
