yeah, changing [example.com](http://example.com) back to the server ip shows me the correct confirmation email page.

I found a DNS record typo and a mistake I made in the yml file, so email should hopefully work when I wake up.

The output of the sudo ./launcher rebuild app command also gives me some clues on what to tinker with to further customize the setup. Hopefully I’ll have a Discourse setup I’m happy with by the weekend! 🙂
