Hey, I have tried reinstalling the droplet and tried with other email servers like ElasticeMail and Mailjet, but when I try to activate my first account on the forum and it says Sent confirmation email I dont recieve it in my email box.
Create admin user using this commands:
cd /var/discourse
./laucher enter app
rake admin:create
Debug smtp server under admin > mails.

Some problems have been found with your installation of Discourse:
- There are 3 email jobs that failed. Check your app.yml and ensure that the mail server settings are correct
How Do I check my app.yml?
Cause When I go through the file:
- My SMTP Username: Is my Email
- Port 2525
-
smtp.elasticemail.com
-Password: Is the password for SMTP
Tried also with mailgun, no one works.
Still I dont recieve my emails to inbox
Check logs at elasticemail.
/var/discourse/containers/app.yml
Well when it ask for my discourse host name, could it be like example (theweirdperson.tk) or do it need to be forum.theweirdperson.tk?
it can be any valid FQDN as long as that FQDN resolves back to the server on which you’re hosting your forum.
FQDN? Sorry I am being a bit newbeginner.
FQDN = Fully Qualified Domain Name. 
Ok, so I have pointed my domain to the ip of the forum. (statekentucky.tk) so then I can put statekentucky.tk in hostname in the cmd?
Sorry I didn’t quite get you.
are you doing a fresh install or something else?
Your question was related to your VPS or elasticemail?
I am currently trying to reinstall the droplet and install discourse again, cause I have had some errors with few email servers.
Please follow the official install guide.
discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub
and about the Hostname, if You want to host it on forum.example.com then enter forum.example.com when it asks for hostname and if you want it on example.com then enter example.com when it asks for hostname.

Looks good to me. You may try proceeding with installation and it should complete without error.
Check the logs at elasticemail?
May I ask where? xD I do not see any logs tab
Oh, is it Email log and notification log?
Yes definitely that should do! … Do you see any submitted emails over there?
