Good evening,

I’m trying to setup discourse on a DigitalOcean droplet.  
I installed docker and discourse successfully via ssh.  
When I run ./discourse-setup, I’m directly prompted for the SMTP password; I **do not** get any of the following questions:

> ```
> Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]: 
> Email address for admin account? [me@example.com]: 
> SMTP server address? [smtp.example.com]: 
> SMTP user name? [postmaster@discourse.example.com]: 
> SMTP port [587]:
> 
> ```

Could you please advice how I should proceed?

Thank you in advance,

Luca
