Deploy a Signal TLS Proxy with Terraform running AWS

Usage

Define variables in any file.

In the example we will be using a file with name varfile. Following vars must be defined:

awsAccessKey="<YOUR AWS ACCESS KEY>"
awsSecretKey=<"YOUR AWS SECRET KEY">
awsRegion="<REGIOn YOU WANT TO HOST A PROXY>"
myIP="<YOUR IP TO EXPLICITLY ALLOW SSH CONNECTION>"
publicZoneId="<AN ID OF YOUR PUBLIC HOSTED ZONE IN ROUTE 53>"
instanceName="<DEFINE THE SUBDOMAIN NAME FOR THIS SIGNAL PROXY. BY DEFAULT A TRIBUTE TO MONICA BELUCCI's ROLE (PERSEPHONE) IN THE MATRIX WILL BE USED>"

Open user-data.sh script and map a variable. Before mapping the variable, make sure to check vars.tf file

export FQDN="<FULL FQDN OF THIS SIGNAL PROXY>"

Add RSA SSH key

By default, terraform will look in the project's folder for key-file with a name id_rsa.pub. Can point to any other if needed via the variable publicKeyPath

Run

terraform init
terraform apply -var-file varfile

Let peeps know that you are running the proxy
