This Terraform project has been developed to deploy a Nightscout instance on AWS using free-tier resources that best replicate the operating experience of Heroku.

While every effort has been made to ensure only free-tier resources are used, this may change as Amazon adjust their offering and we take no responsibility for the services deployed to your own AWS account. You can read more about what services are offered in their free-tier here.

Detailed instructions on how to use this project are located in this repository's wiki.

There is also a step-by-step walkthrough video available on YouTube, which follows the setup guide in the wiki.

The project is setup to access AWS credentials in its config and not system defaults such as ~/.aws/credentials. If you're an experienced Terraform/AWS user you may wish to change this and can do so by modifying the providers.tf file as per Terraform's instructions. If doing this I suggest forking & modifying this repo instead of cloning it.
