Self-hosting on AWS

For a single hotel, prefer Hostinger or DigitalOcean. Use AWS when the property (or group) already lives in an AWS account - or when buying through AWS Marketplace later.

Manual EC2

1. Create the server

EC2 → Ubuntu 24.04 → t3.medium (2 vCPU / 4 GB; t3.large builds faster) → 40 GB gp3 → security group 22, 80, 443 → Elastic IP.

2. DNS

A record pms.yourhotel.com → Elastic IP.

3. Install

ssh ubuntu@<server-ip>   # or root, depending on AMI
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kamra-PMS/kamra-pms/main/deploy/install.sh | bash

Site domain, admin email, admin password - no default.

4. TLS

sudo apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx -d pms.yourhotel.com

Then /kamra/setup. See Quickstart.

Marketplace (planned)
