# Work with Bitnami applications and stacks on Lightsail Bitnami This section covers the following topics related to Bitnami applications on Amazon Lightsail instances: **Topics** + [ # Obtain the default application username and password for Lightsail Bitnami instances ](log-in-to-your-bitnami-application-running-on-amazon-lightsail.md) + [ # Remove the Bitnami banner from Lightsail instances ](amazon-lightsail-remove-bitnami-banner.md) # Obtain the default application username and password for Lightsail Bitnami instances Bitnami user name and password Bitnami provides many of the application instance images, or blueprints, that you can create as Amazon Lightsail instances, which are your virtual private servers. These blueprints are described as “Packaged by Bitnami” in the instance creation page in the Lightsail console. After you create an instance using a Bitnami blueprint, you sign in and administer it. To do this, you must get the default user name and password for the application and/or database running on the instance. This article shows you how to obtain the information necessary to sign in and administer Lightsail instances created from the following blueprints: + WordPress blogging and content management application + WordPress Multisite blogging and content management application with support for multiple websites on the same instance + Django development stack + Ghost blogging and content management application + LAMP development stack (PHP 7) + Node.js development stack + Joomla content management application + Magento e-Commerce application + MEAN development stack + Drupal content management application + GitLab CE repository application + Redmine project management application + Nginx (LEMP) development stack ## Get the default Bitnami application and database user name These are the default application and database user names for Lightsail instances created using the Bitnami blueprints: **Note** Not all Bitnami blueprints include an application or a database. The user name is listed as not applicable (N/A) when these are not included in the blueprint. | Application name | Application user name | Database user name | | --- | --- | --- | | WordPress, including WordPress Multisite | user | root | | PrestaShop | user@example.com | root | | Django | N/A | root | | Ghost | user@example.com | root | | LAMP stack (PHP 5 and PHP 7) | N/A | root | | Node.js | N/A | N/A | | Joomla | user | root | | Magento | user | root | | MEAN | N/A | root | | Drupal | user | root | | GitLab CE | user | postgres | | Redmine | user | root | | Nginx | N/A | root | ## Get the default Bitnami application and database password The default application and database password are stored on your instance. You retrieve it by connecting to it using the browser-based SSH terminal in the Lightsail console and running a special command. **To get the default Bitnami application and database password** 1. Sign in to the [Lightsail console](https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/). 1. If you haven't already, create an instance using a Bitnami blueprint. For more information, see [Create an Amazon Lightsail VPS](how-to-create-amazon-lightsail-instance-virtual-private-server-vps.md) 1. On the Lightsail home page, choose the quick connect icon for the instance you want to connect to. ![\[Open the browser-based SSH client with quick connect.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/amazon-lightsail-wordpress-quick-connect.png) The browser-based SSH client window opens, as shown in the following example. ![\[Browser-based SSH client in Lightsail.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/amazon-lightsail-bitnami-terminal-window.png) 1. Type the following command to retrieve the default application password: ``` cat ~/bitnami_application_password ``` You should see a response similar to this, which contains the application password: ![\[Bitnami default application password.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/amazon-lightsail-bitnami-application-password.png) 1. In the terminal screen, highlight the password, then choose the clipboard icon in the bottom right corner of the browser-based SSH client window. 1. In the clipboard text box, highlight the text you want to copy, then press **Ctrl\$1C** or **Cmd\$1C** to copy the text to your local clipboard. ![\[Browser-based SSH client clipboard text box.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/amazon-lightsail-bitnami-browser-ssh-terminal-clipboard-password.png) **Important** Make sure to save your password somewhere at this time. You can change it later after you sign in to the Bitnami application on your instance. ## Sign in to the Bitnami application on your instance For instances created from the WordPress, Joomla, Magento, Drupal, GitLab CE, and Redmine blueprints, sign in to the application by browsing to the public IP address of your instance. **To sign in to the Bitnami application** 1. In a browser window, navigate to the public IP address for your instance. The Bitnami application home page opens. The home page displays according to the Bitnami blueprint you chose for your instance. For example, this is the WordPress application home page: ![\[The Bitnami application home page for WordPress.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/amazon-lightsail-bitnami-application-home-page.png) 1. Choose the Bitnami logo at the bottom right corner of the application home page to go to the application information page. **Note** The GitLab CE application doesn't display a Bitnami logo. Instead, sign in using the user name and password text fields displayed on the GitLab CE home page. The application information page contains the default user name and a link to the login page for the application on your instance. ![\[Bitnami application information page.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/amazon-lightsail-bitnami-application-information-page.png) 1. Choose the login link on the page to go to the log in page for the application on your instance. 1. Type the user name and the password you just acquired, then choose **Log In**. ![\[The log in page for WordPress.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/amazon-lightsail-bitnami-wordpress-application-login.png) ## Next steps Use the following links to learn more about the Bitnami blueprints and view their tutorials.

In the following example from a "Certified by Bitnami" WordPress instance, the Bitnami banner is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the home page. In this guide, we show you how to permanently remove the Bitnami icon from the home page of the application on your instance. ![\[Bitnami banner on the WordPress application home page\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/bitnami-banner.png) Not all Bitnami blueprint applications display the Bitnami banner on the home page of the application. Visit the home page of your Lightsail instance to determine if a Bitnami banner is displayed. In the following example from a "Packaged by Bitnami" Nginx instance, the Bitnami icon is not displayed. Instead, a place-holder information page is displayed, which is eventually replaced by the application that you choose to deploy on your instance. If your instance doesn't display a Bitnami banner, then you don't have to follow the procedures in this guide. ![\[The Nginx application home page without a Bitnami banner\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/no-bitnami-banner.png) ## Remove the Bitnami banner from your instance Complete the following procedure to confirm that your instance has a Bitnami icon displayed in the home page of the application, and to remove it. 1. Sign in to the [Lightsail console](https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/). 1. In the **Instances** section of the Lightsail home page, copy the public IP address of the instance that you want to confirm. ![\[Public IP address of a Lightsail instance\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/amazon-lightsail-instance-public-ip-address.png) 1. Open a new browser tab, enter the public IP address of your instance into the address bar, and press **Enter**. 1. Confirm one of the following options: 1. If the Bitnami icon is not displayed on the page, then stop following these procedures. You don't need to remove the Bitnami icon from the home page of your application. 1. If the Bitnami icon is displayed in the lower-right corner of the page as shown in the following example, then continue to the following set of steps to remove it. ![\[Bitnami banner on the WordPress application home page\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/bitnami-banner.png) In the following set of steps, you will connect to your instance using the Lightsail browser-based SSH client. After you're connected, you will run the Bitnami Configuration Tool (bnconfig) tool to remove the Bitnami icon from the home page of your application. The bnconfig tool is a command line tool that allows you to configure you’re the application on your Bitnami blueprint instance. For more information, see [Learn About The Bitnami Configuration Tool](https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/faq/configuration/understand-bnconfig/) in the *Bitnami documentation*. 1. Return to the browser tab that is on the Lightsail home page. 1. Choose the browser-based SSH client icon that is next to the name of the instance that you wish to connect to. ![\[The browser-based SSH client icon for a Lightsail instance\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/images/browser-based-ssh-client-icon.png) 1. After the SSH client is connected to your instance, enter one of the following commands: 1. If your instance uses Apache, then enter one of the following commands. If one of the commands fails, try the other. The first part of this command disables the Bitnami banner, and the second part restarts the Apache service. ``` sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/bnconfig --disable_banner 1 && sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache ``` ``` sudo /opt/bitnami/wordpress/bnconfig --disable_banner 1 && sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache ``` You can confirm that the process was successful by browsing to the public IP address of your instance and confirming that the Bitnami icon is gone. Follow the step-by-step instructions to learn how to retrieve the default credentials for your Bitnami application and database, sign in to the application's admin panel, and optionally remove the Bitnami branding banner from the application's home page. The guide covers various Bitnami blueprints available in Lightsail, including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Ghost, LAMP, LEMP, MEAN, Node.js, and more. It provides the default user names for both the application and the database, as well as the commands to obtain the default passwords securely. By following this guide, you can easily access and manage your Bitnami applications running on Lightsail instances, customizing them according to your requirements and removing any unwanted branding elements.
