1. Launch a AWS instance
2. Create and download new key pair
3. Open PuttyGen
4. Load the new key pair
5. Generate and save the new private key pair
6. Open Putty, copy the "ec2-user@csdjncs" into the Hostname tab as follows
    
7. In SSH -> Auth -> Click Browse and select the generated key
8. Open the connection.

Install Docker

1. Update the installed packages and package cache on your instance.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   sudo yum update -y

2. Install the most recent Docker Community Edition package.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker

3. Start the Docker service.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   sudo service docker start

4. Add the ec2-user to the docker group so you can execute Docker commands without using sudo.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user

5. Log out and log back in again to pick up the new docker group permissions. You can accomplish this by closing your current SSH terminal window and reconnecting to your instance in a new one. Your new SSH session will have the appropriate docker group permissions.
6. Verify that the ec2-user can run Docker commands without sudo.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   docker info

   Note

   In some cases, you may need to reboot your instance to provide permissions for the ec2-user to access the Docker daemon. Try rebooting your instance if you see the following error:

   
   
   
   
   Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

Run the rstudio image

docker run -d -p 8787:8787 -e ROOT=TRUE -e PASSWORD=yourpasswordhere rocker/rstudio

Get the ip of the instance from the public IP entry

in the browser enter xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8787


Make sure to make the file on s3 public
Select file -> Actions -> make public
