I’m not sure if you have actually looked at the **official Discourse install guide** which is the only supported install method I’ve heard of.

Other users have referred you to it in your other topic, e.g. this reply:  
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-not-configure-my-bitnami-discourse-instance-to-send-out-mails/101618/2?u=remah](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-not-configure-my-bitnami-discourse-instance-to-send-out-mails/101618/2)

You will see on other topics that AWS/Bitnami installs are not supported although people may still be able to help you, e.g. as in this topic:

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/just-installed-discourse-on-aws/86146?u=remah](https://meta.discourse.org/t/just-installed-discourse-on-aws/86146)

FYI, here is some background on the AWS install guide that you found.

The blog owner is a user here, @stroupaloop, although I haven’t seen him posting for a while.  
He had a couple of topics on AWS that I read when i first joined:

- Pointing to the blog post you refer to: [Discourse deployment using AWS](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-deployment-using-aws/32271)
- Covering some issues he had: [Setting up Discourse with SSL on Docker with AWS ELB breaks and returns 503 Service Unavailable (Back-end server is at capacity)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ssl-aws-elb-503-service-unavailable-back-end-server-is-at-capacity/29098).
