I'm launching a new site / forum, and thought this time around instead of using a EC2 instance I would try to containerize xenForo and run it through ECS. My container is running locally and I have a fully functioning forum. And I have been able to get the ECS Task Definition to run Docker...

Hi Guys! Im NOT an IT guy, but I know when it comes to attachments its better to prevent any issues, before we activate a new site. So how should i prevent the big file sizes? Im open to paid method (that would save money and headche on the long run). SO how should I handle attachments? Amazon...

Hi. So I'm quite new in this field, and trying to find the best and cheapest solution to host my xenforo forum in an optimal place. I've come around issues with my emails landing in spam, and my website sometimes getting the error "XF\Db\Exception: Too many connections ", and come to realize...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, I'm not very security minded, but I thought I'd post it in case it mattered. When using Amazon S3 buckets to host my data and internal_data folders, I noticed that the URL was exposed when clicking (or hovering) on the user's avatar from their...

With the Chrome warnings starting to roll out, I'm wondering if anyone else has moved their xenforo from http to https using a free certificate hosted on an ELB with an ec2 running http. Any thoughts, how-to, guide, gotchas, any related experience and things to look out for? I get I'll...

A few Sundays ago I was perusing this forum and came across someone talking about migrating to AWS... This has been a topic of general interest for me (I had been running on a dedicated server), so when I saw a post from @fly offering his qualifications and offer to PM for help, I reached out...

I was reading this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/notifications-via-email.html But I cannot seem to figure out how to get Amazon SES to send bounce notifications to bounce@mydomain.com has anyone figured out how to do this?

We're running Xenforo on AWS, but are experiencing some issues setting up Enhanced Search that we were hoping someone might be able to help with. We have three machines running: a web server, a database, and a search machine. All the ports are open to allow the machines to talk to each other...
