# Configure your instance

In order to configure your On-Premises instance you need to use the configuration tool that is available at your ec2 instance on port **8080**.

To login you need to use the username **admin** and your instance id as the **password**. The instance id appears on your EC2 dashboard where the instance is running.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that if you access your instance directly from the instance domain, it will use standard HTTP instead of HTTPS. If you want an extra layer of security it is recommended to configure HTTPS by allocating a dedicated subdomain for the admin tool and AWS Certificate manager. These would be the same instructions as to configure the Taskforce.sh, check [Setup loadbalancer](/on-premises/aws/setup-loadbalancer.md) and [Setup route 53](/on-premises/aws/setup-route-53.md).
{% endhint %}

Once you login into the configuration tool you can setup all the necessary settings, starting with PostgreSQL. You must test the connection before you are allowed to save.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Due to a limitation in the current version, only "postgres" is allowed as the user, this will be improved in next versions.
{% endhint %}

When all the settings have been set and saved you can also see that they are stored in the Parameter Store:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.taskforce.sh/on-premises/aws/configure-your-instance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
