Configure Discourse

1. Access Droplet via SSH

Once the droplet is created, use SSH to connect to your droplet. Follow the instructions provided by DigitalOcean.

Execute the Discourse setup script by running the following commands:

cd /var/discourse
./discourse-setup`

The setup wizard will guide you through various configuration options, including email settings and administrator account creation.

If you haven't set up email during the initial Discourse setup, you can configure it later using the ./discourse-setup script.

After configuring, run the following command to rebuild Discourse with the new settings:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app
