Just set up Discourse (stable) on Debian 8.1 (2 gigs DO droplet) following this guide [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)

After bootstraping and starting app I can’t ssh into container because of incorrect root password. I also tried fresh install with this settings in app.yml:

- exec: /usr/sbin/usermod -p “$(mkpasswd -m sha-256 ‘SuperPassword’)” root. Same result.

So what is the correct way to configure ssh access? Thanks.

P.S. Installation was made by root if it does matter.
