What makes a successful volunteer Discourse sysadmin?

Mostly that it’s OK if your applicants don’t know how to do those and that’s it’s something they can learn.

As long as the applicant is comfortable with the digital ocean console, they won’t have any issues.

You can find a few examples of those here.

Have a look there and gauge how often you normally need to do those in your community. This should give you an indication of how important this is for your community.

From my personal experience, this will be a very minor part of the work they do. Almost everything can be done from within the site.

Also worth noting that they can always come here and ask if they ever get stuck on anything.
