Running on AWS EC2

Hello There,

Has anyone implemented PMG on AWS EC2? Can you share steps to deploy this scenario?

Hi,

The gist is that you can setup Debian in AWS and there's support to install PMG on top of a plain Debian installation, so there's not much difference to other setups (besides possibly network environment), so the installation and setup docs still apply.

So if I complete installation from Debian, will rest of the configuration and environment remain same?

What is the difference between PMG appliance installer and this in that case?

Basically, once PMG got installed on top of Debian you'll have the web-interface available and can continue the PMG configuration from there.

The ISO installer is in general meant to be rather easy and quick, but also a bit less flexible, for example in terms of complex disk partitioning. That, and the reason that we explicitly base off the excellent Debian distribution anyway, made documenting a way of installing Proxmox Mail Gateway on top of an existing Debian setup reasonable.
