I’m trying to follow these directions as I type them directly into the digi ocean console…it should be pretty straight forward, but I just can’t seem to get anywhere with them. Is there a command line that should start this of i.e sudo…?
Directions: To configure SMTP settings using and external SMTP server, you have to add the lines indicated below to you installdir/apps/discourse/htdocs/config/discourse.conf, for instance, after the line:
The required lines to configure SMTP are the following:
smtp_address = “SMTP_HOSTNAME”
smtp_port = SMTP_PORT
smtp_domain = example.com
smtp_user_name = ‘SMTP_USER’
smtp_password = ‘SMTP_PASSWORD’
smtp_enable_start_tls = true
Hi yes I am. I should state I sent through Bitnami so it seems your above directions are different.
Here’s what I’m copy pasting into the console line for line as the instructions say here https://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/BitNami_Discourse
Is there a reason why you would need to follow the bitnami guide rather than the official supported version given that you’re using a digital ocean droplet?

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to apply after trying to follow it. I already have discourse installed, not using docker I think. so can’t pick up the directions from app.yml or copy app.yml part because I don’t have that folder or file.
Thanks for your attempts at helping I finally got support from the Bitnami folks.
Pls for goodness sake can we go back to UI’s that don’t require degrees to operate and instructions that are accurate? Pero why do I need to see the backend Anyways?!
OK time for a bagel.

If anyone is in the same predicament here’s a link to my resolution and how to access discourse.conf file.
Not sure if that argument holds much weight and yeah maybe if the cost was reasonable but with the price of your primary hosting, plus themes + every other cost to run a site plus this…? you see how it quickly becomes unsustainable.
Hopefully they figure out how to make it affordable and people friendly,otherwise like all else someone else will come with the 2.0 and do so thus rendering it like blockbuster…Yeah remember them
It definitely scores 9.5 for features but 0 for user implementation.
well “reasonable” and “affordable” is subjective isn’t it? For instance, Apple has great products but it also come at a pretty hefty cost if you ask me.
Anyway, I’m sure you would have a much better experience if you followed the official installation guide
