AWS IRC Setup

Quickly setup an AWS EC2 instance with UnrealIRCd and Anope IRC services.

1. Upload files to S3[1]
   1. Upload configuration to s3://YourBucket/config/
   2. Upload install scripts to s3://YourBucket/install/
2. Create an EC2 instance[2]:
   1. Set IAM to a role with S3 read rights
   2. In the user data section under advanced, add the init-ec2.sh script
3. Launch the instance
4. Attach an Elastic IP to it
5. Done!

Steps 1.1 and 1.2 are handled by the upload-to-s3.sh script.

Steps 2, 3 and 4 are handled by the launch-ec2-instance.sh script.

Limited S3 bucket policy (IAM)

The following policy allows Get, Delete and Put actions on all items in the irc.codetalk.io bucket. Note, that it does not allow listing the contents in it.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "Stmt1447546160000",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:PutObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::YourBucket/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Create the policy under AWS Console -> IAM -> Policy -> Create Policy. Then you can attach it to a user or group.
