Hi everyone, I’m attempting to login to my discourse via digitalocean and terminal on my mac. When I connect to the server I am getting the ‘Thanks for using the DigitalOcean Discourse Application Image’ despite already having the forum up and running on the subdomain. The message proceeds to ask me for an email address as admin, hostname (domain or subdomain) and the SMTP server details. As I mentioned, the forum is already configured via the droplet on digitalocean and I use the root@ip of that droplet to sign in. I’m trying to do an update along with plugin install and can’t seem to figure out how to even log in… Any help would be greatly appreciated! -jc --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ssh-login-asking-me-to-configure-discourse-forum/255711)._
