TLDR Ankit faced issues setting up AWS server with Typesense. Kishore Nallan clarified the installation methods and suggested to use DEB or RPM instead, which resolved Ankit's issue.

Ankit
01:33 PMHere is the curl command I am using: http://<<Server IP>>:8108/health
Also checked the inbound rules for server. They are fine, and nginx default page loads. Do I need to install something else?
One other thing, the docs said
> By default, Typesense will start on port 8108, and the installation will generate a random API key, which you can view/change from the configuration file at
/etc/typesense/typesense-server.ini
The file is not created, nor the API key is generated. Am I doing something wrong?
When I installed it on local the curl call for health check works fine.

This is true only for DEB and RPM installations. How did you install Typesense?
Please post your typesense config INI file so I can see if there is something missing.
Ankit
12:47 PMLinux binary. (tar.gx file acc to documentation).
The ini file is not generated either. There is nothing in /etc as the typesense folder is not created (does it require root permissions, I did not use that)
