# How to deploy a private AnythingLLM instance on AWS
With an AWS account you can easily deploy a private AnythingLLM instance on AWS. This will create a url that you can access from any browser over HTTP (HTTPS not supported). This single instance will run on your own keys and they will not be exposed - however if you want your instance to be protected it is highly recommend that you set the `AUTH_TOKEN` and `JWT_SECRET` variables in the `docker/` ENV.
## Please read this notice before submitting issues about your deployment
**Note:**
Your instance will not be available instantly. Depending on the instance size you launched with it can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes to fully boot up.
If you want to check the instance's progress, navigate to [your deployed EC2 instances](https://us-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home) and connect to your instance via SSH in browser.
