A user reports encountering a “Welcome Setup” screen after a DigitalOcean server reboot, preventing access to their Discourse site. The screen prompts for configuration details, but the user wants to bypass it without resetting. AirRockStar asks how to proceed and prevent it from recurring. jomaxro suggests using Ctrl + C to bypass the setup, which is confirmed by cpradio as a recurring issue when SSHing into the server due to DigitalOcean’s Application Image. jomaxro clarifies that Discourse did not create the image, so the user should contact DigitalOcean for a permanent fix. pfaffman points to the official installation guide as a reference for resolving the issue.
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?
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.
