I am quite a noob when it comes to cloud based apps, this is a completely new context for me. I currently got the github education pack, part of it was an account on bitnami. I was wondering if it's possible to host a static html site on bitnami, I tried a few things but so far I got no where. I know that i can deploy a wordpress or drupal instance and then I can configure a theme for those, but I just want a simple static html site to run. Any guidance on how I can do that?

Do you really want a static website on Bitnami or it could be in another platform? Because you could host one on GitHub Pages. Just follow the guide.

To host a super fast static site using a bitnami provided image I would use an nginx based stack such as: https://wiki.bitnami.com/Infrastructure_Stacks/Bitnami_Nginx_Stack

  • Thank you for pointing this out! ngnix was very helpful during the my initial trials! i ended deploying a rails app that spits out static pages, using unicorn and nginx. – Nour May 23 '15 at 14:04

To host static website using Bitnami try following steps.

  1. Run an AWS instance from marketplace using 'LAMP Stack powered by Bitnami' AMI. This AMI will have pre-configured LAMP stack.
  2. Attach EIP to your Instance
  3. Upload you website files to /var/www/html/
  4. Type your EIP in browser and if everything went right you should be able to see your website.
