I’m looking at the official instructions to self-host and I have some questions: 1 - If I use DigitalOcean, what would I need for a new and small community, from this page ? I believe that Droplets is required, but what else? Would like to have an idea of what costs I would have? What would be my re…

[画像] Tiago: Connect to your server via its IP address using SSH, how can I do this? ssh ipaddress You would create the droplet and connect to it with ssh and then do those commands on the droplet, not on your Mac.

So that would be done inside my DigitalOcean account? Is that what you are saying? I would never do anything locally?

Yes, after replying I started thinking about that as well. The tool is local (Terminal), but the changes are made remotely. And my original question was about the tool itself: my computer using Terminal or using the browser (which in a way is also local haha).
