I have decided to install jitsi meet on AWS. I have an an elastic beanstalk site with [ Python 3.6 running on 64bit Amazon Linux ] platform.
The EC2 instance is t2.micro, but in production I will have up to 110 users having conferences every day with a maximum of 3 conferences taking place at any given time.
The best guide I could find on how to proceed with the installation on AWS is here But obviously I would have to make a new instance to do that. The big difference is that the instructions need ubuntu to be installed on the instance, and I don't have that on my current instance. I am not so familiar with linux, is it possible to translate those instructions meant for Ubuntu into my current instance, so I don't have to pay for a new instance?

    Did you read the article first? "Jitsi needs a fair bit of memory, so using the micro instances will not work without tuning/hacking, which is outside the scope of this article." – Michael Hampton Aug 07 '20 at 03:09
  • The problem I foresee, is that if I simply upgrade the instance (using a tutorial like, https://www.cloudsqueeze.ai/how-to-change-an-aws-ec2-instance-type-a-step-by-step-guide/index.html), then I won't be able to SSH into the instance and run the commands that are required by the link in my question, which requires Ubuntu. – Lawrence DeSouza Aug 08 '20 at 04:26
  • I found a possible solution using the aws cli, using the command: aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment --solution-stack-name "Ubuntu ..." --environment-name "dev-bg-123456" --region "eu-central-1" but I'm afraid that changing the platform of elastic beanstalk is going to break my site. – Lawrence DeSouza Aug 08 '20 at 05:14
