Images stoped loading on my site and whenever I go to login via SSH I’m greeting with a “Welcome Setup” kinda screen that reads: > Thanks for using the DigitalOcean Discourse Application Image. > To get started, the following configuration details will be required. > > - Email Address for the Discourse Admin Account > - The hostname (domain or subdomain) you will use for Discourse > - Details for the SMTP server your Discourse install will use to send email > > Please press enter when you are read to configure discourse. How do I get past this? I did force the server off and got the images to come back but I do not want to reset everything again to get past this message when I try and login… Any help is appreciated to remove this message! What should I do? ---

You should be able to Ctrl + c to bypass that. ---

Thanks! Is there any reason this popped up a few days after I installed Discourse and how to I make sure this doesn’t come up again? ---

From what I recall, this will appear everytime you SSH into the machine. It is due to how Digital Ocean’s Application Image works, you will always have to CTRL + C to get out of it. ---

We (Discourse) did not make that image, Digital Ocean did. You’d need to ask them how to prevent it. ---

I think that somewhere in the text that’s spewed, it tells you how to make it stop. The recommended course of action is [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md). ---
