Medusa.js on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg
Medusa is the open-source, MIT-licensed headless commerce platform built on Node.js and TypeScript. It gives you a modular commerce backend (products, carts, orders, fulfilment, payments, promotions) exposed through a REST API, plus a full admin dashboard for running a store. This cloudimg image runs Medusa 2.16.0 production-ready on Node.js 22 LTS behind an nginx reverse proxy on port 80, backed by PostgreSQL 16 and Redis 7, with the database and media on a dedicated Azure data disk and per-VM secrets plus a unique admin created on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.
Headless Commerce
A modular commerce backend - products, carts, orders, fulfilment, payments and promotions - exposed through a REST API, with a full admin dashboard at /app for running custom storefronts, marketplaces and B2B/B2C stores.
Complete Stack
Medusa 2.16.0 on Node.js 22 LTS with the admin dashboard pre-built, PostgreSQL 16 and Redis 7 (cache, event bus, workflow engine), and nginx publishing the dashboard and API on port 80.
Dedicated Data Disk
The PostgreSQL database and uploaded media live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk at /var/lib/medusa, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM.
Secure First Boot
All application secrets, the database password and a unique admin user are generated on the first boot of every VM and recorded in a root-only file; Medusa provides its own admin authentication. No shared credentials ship in the image.
