3. Install Nimbra Edge #

The server is ready. Now configure your installation and sign in to Network Manager.

Configure DNS #

Create a DNS A record for your hostname, for example my.nimbra.edge, pointing to PublicIP from the stack outputs. Wait until public DNS resolves to it. Keep TCP ports 80 and 443 reachable from the internet for automatic TLS; the template’s security group allows both.

Configure Nimbra Edge #

In the appliance setup interface:

  1. Enter your License Key and Domain Name, for example my.nimbra.edge.
  2. Choose and confirm a Super User Password for Network Manager’s admin account. This is separate from the appliance password you used to sign in.
  3. Select Enable automatic TLS certificate and HTTP-01.
  4. Click Install and wait for installation to complete.

Automatic TLS enabled with HTTP-01 selected

The Open Nimbra Edge button will open the UI of your newly installed Nimbra Edge system. Sign in as admin with the Super User Password you just chose.

It can take a little while for the TLS certificate to be installed
