NOTICE:

This solution uses port 80 for accessing Dify. By default, all traffic is allowed. Please refer to and modify the security group rules to configure an IP address whitelist.

This solution uses port 22 for SSH-based remote login to the cloud server. If you need to remotely log in to the cloud server, please refer to and modify the security group rules to configure an IP address whitelist to ensure normal access to the service.
After the solution is successfully deployed, the environment initialization is expected to take approximately 5-10 minutes. This duration may vary due to network and bandwidth conditions. The service will be accessible once the deployment is completed.

(Optional) Modifying Security Group Rules

A security group is a collection of access control rules to control traffic to and from cloud resources, such as cloud servers, containers, and databases. Cloud resources associated with the same security group have the same security requirements and are mutually trusted within a VPC.

You can modify security group rules, for example, by adding, modifying, or deleting a TCP port, as follows:

Adding a security group rule: Add an inbound rule and enable a TCP port if needed.
Modifying a security group rule: Inappropriate security group settings may introduce serious security risks. You can modify security group rules to ensure the network security of your ECSs.
Deleting a security group rule: If the source or destination IP address of an inbound or outbound security group rule changes, or a port needs to be disabled, you can delete the security group rule.

Basic Usage

Log in to the Development Platform: Enter the access address from the quick deployment step 10 to browse the Dify development platform. For the first login, you need to register an administrator account by sequentially filling in your email, username, and password.
Configurate the API key for LLM: After logging in to Dify, click Settings button in the top right dropdown menu. Then click Model Provider, select the model you want to connect, and then insert the required information.
Create application: You can create a blank application or create based on an application template. For basic usage, click Create from Blank.
Check API Access: you can configurate and test the conversation interaction, such as writing prompts or import knowledge base. Once satisfied, you can click API Access on the left panel to see how to call your application API.
Create API key: Before you call the Dify API, you also need to create an API key as an authorization for requests in the top right corner.
