Database Stack AMI
MongoDB + InfluxDB + MySQL**MySQL - A plug-and-play multi-database stack for AWS EC2 with persistent EBS storage.
Overview
This AMI provides a production-ready database stack with three popular databases:
| Database | Version | Port | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| MongoDB | 7.x | 27017 | Document/NoSQL database |
| InfluxDB | 2.x | 8086 | Time-series database |
| MySQL | 8.x | 3306 | Relational database |
Requirements
Instance Sizing
| Workload | Instance Type | vCPU | RAM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Development | t3.small | 2 | 2 GB | Light testing |
| Small Production | t3.medium | 2 | 4 GB | Recommended minimum |
| Medium Production | t3.large | 2 | 8 GB | Better performance |
| Large Production | t3.xlarge+ | 4+ | 16+ GB | Heavy workloads |
Storage
- Minimum
EBS**EBS: 20 GB (gp3) - Recommended: 50-100 GB+ depending on data volume
- Type: gp3 for best price/performance
Network (Security Group)
| Port | Protocol | Source | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | TCP | Your IP | SSH access |
| 27017 | TCP | Your App/VPC | MongoDB |
| 8086 | TCP | Your App/VPC | InfluxDB |
| 3306 | TCP | Your App/VPC | MySQL |
⚠️ **Security Note**Note: Never expose database ports (27017, 8086, 3306) to 0.0.0.0/0 in production!
Building the AMI
1. Launch Base Instance
# Launch Ubuntu 24.04 instance (t3.medium recommended)
# Attach a secondary EBS volume for testing
```
2. Upload Scripts
# From your local machine
scp -i your-key.pem setup-dbstack.sh configure-dbstack.sh cleanup-for-ami.sh \
first-boot.sh dbstack-firstboot.service dbstack-cli \
ubuntu@:ubuntu@<instance-ip>:/tmp/
```
3. Run Setup
# On the instance
sudo bash /tmp/setup-dbstack.sh
```
4. Test Configuration (Optional)
# Attach an EBS volume first, then:
sudo /opt/dbstack/configure-dbstack.sh
# Verify everything works
dbstack-cli status
# Test connections
docker exec dbstack-mongodb mongosh --eval "db.runCommand({ ping: 1 })"
docker exec dbstack-mysql mysql -u root -p -e "SELECT VERSION();"
```
5. Clean Up for AMI
sudo /opt/dbstack/cleanup-for-ami.sh
```
6. Create AMI
- Stop the instance (do not terminate)
- AWS Console → EC2 → Instances → Select instance
- Actions → Image and templates → Create image
- Name:
`dbstack-mongodb-influxdb-mysql-v1.0`0 - Wait for AMI to be available
Customer Usage
Option 1: Interactive Setup
- Launch
Instance**Instance from the AMI - Attach EBS
Volume**Volume (20 GB+ recommended) - SSH and
Configure**Configure:
sudo /opt/dbstack/configure-dbstack.sh
```
- Follow the prompts to set passwords and configure databases
Option 2: Automated Setup (User-Data)
Launch with this JSON user-data for fully automated configuration:
{
"mongodb": {
"root_user": "admin",
"root_password": "YourSecurePassword123!",
"database": "myapp",
"app_user": "appuser",
"app_password": "AppUserPassword456!"
},
"influxdb": {
"org": "mycompany",
"bucket": "metrics",
"user": "admin",
"password": "InfluxPassword789!"
},
"mysql": {
"root_password": "MySQLRootPass321!",
"database": "myapp",
"user": "appuser",
"password": "MySQLUserPass654!"
},
"host": "your-domain.com"
}
```
Note: All password fields are required. The `host`host field is optional (defaults to public IP).

Connection Examples
MongoDB
# Python (pymongo)
from pymongo import MongoClient
# Using root credentials
client = MongoClient("mongodb://admin:password@your-ip:27017")
# Using app credentials
client = MongoClient("mongodb://appuser:password@your-ip:27017/mydb")
db = client.mydb
```
// Node.js
const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://appuser:password@your-ip:27017/mydb');
```
InfluxDB
# Python (influxdb-client)
from influxdb_client import InfluxDBClient
client = InfluxDBClient(
url="http://your-ip:8086",
token="your-api-token",
org="myorg"
)
```
# CLI
influx write -b mybucket -o myorg -t your-token \
'temperature,location=office value=72.5'
```
MySQL
# Python (mysql-connector)
import mysql.connector
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
host="your-ip",
port=3306,
user="appuser",
password="password",
database="mydb"
)
```
# CLI
mysql -h your-ip -P 3306 -u appuser -p mydb
```
Backup & Recovery
Manual Backup
# Create backup of all databases
sudo dbstack-cli backup
# Backups stored in: /mnt/dbstack-data/backups/
```
EBS Snapshots (Recommended)
For production, use EBS snapshots for point-in-time recovery:
# Stop services before snapshot for consistency
dbstack-cli stop
# Create snapshot via AWS Console or CLI
aws ec2 create-snapshot --volume-id vol-xxxxx --description "dbstack-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d)"
# Start services
dbstack-cli start
```
Restore from Backup
sudo dbstack-cli restore
# Follow prompts to select backup timestamp
```

Troubleshooting
Service Won't Start
# Check Docker status
systemctl status docker
# Check container logs
docker logs dbstack-mongodb
docker logs dbstack-influxdb
docker logs dbstack-mysql
# Check EBS mount
df -h /mnt/dbstack-data
```
Connection Refused
- Check security group allows the port
- Verify UFW rules:
`sudo ufwstatus`status - Check service is running:
`dbstack-clistatus`status
Out of Disk Space
# Check disk usage
dbstack-cli status
# Extend EBS volume in AWS Console, then:
sudo growpart /dev/xvdf 1
sudo resize2fs /dev/xvdf
```
Reset Everything
# Complete reset (DESTROYS ALL DATA)
sudo /opt/dbstack/cleanup-for-ami.sh
# Then reconfigure:
sudo /opt/dbstack/configure-dbstack.sh
```
Security Recommendations
- Use
VPC**VPC: Keep databases in private subnet - Security
Groups**Groups: Restrict ports to application servers only - Strong
Passwords**Passwords: Use 16+ character passwords - Enable
Encryption**Encryption: Use encrypted EBS volumes - Regular
Backups**Backups: Automate EBS snapshots - Update
Regularly**Regularly:`dbstack-clifor security patchesupdate`update
Support
- Logs:
`/var/log/dbstack-firstboot.log`log - Credentials:
`sudo cat /opt/dbstack/.credentials`credentials - Configuration:
`/opt/dbstack/config-info.txt`txt
