After deploying this server from the Standalone AMI, the OpenEMR application's web interface will be accessible via its IP address over HTTPS. You will later be able to point your own domain to this server.
If you want to launch the OpenEMR server under your domain or subdomain, and that domain is already in your Route 53 Hosted Zone, you can deploy the OpenEMR server using the CloudFormation template delivery method. In this case, all domain configurations on the server and in Route 53 will be set up automatically. A free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt with auto-renewal will also be installed automatically.
Instructions for deploying the OpenEMR server from the Standalone AMI:
1. Launch the server. This server does not require powerful computing resources; you can choose a simple instance type.
2. Attach the elastic IP to the instance (recommended).
Linux username: admin
Web interface:
When using the HTTPS protocol to access the web interface, your web browser may display a warning about potential risks due to using an IP address in the URL. In this case, you can proceed and accept the risks, as our main objective is to encrypt traffic, and using an IP address in a web browser is safe for our purposes.

Instructions for deploying the OpenEMR server from the CloudFormation Template on AWS:
If you have a domain managed in a Route 53 Hosted Zone, you can specify a domain or subdomain during the deployment of this server. It will be automatically assigned to the server's web interface. Additionally, a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt will be generated and installed, with auto-renewal enabled. This ensures secure HTTPS access to the web interface using your domain name, without browser security warnings.
If no domain was specified during the server deployment, a self-signed SSL certificate will be installed on the server, and access to the web interface will still be available via HTTPS using the IP address. However, please note that your web browser may display a warning about potential risks due to the use of an IP address in the URL. In this case, you can proceed and accept the risks, as our main objective is to encrypt the traffic, and using an IP address in a web browser is safe for our purposes.
After startup, the server is immediately ready for use, and its web interface is available by IP address or domain.
