Dear DigitalOcean Support Team,
I am planning to set up two separate droplets on DigitalOcean and need guidance on connecting them securely:
- Droplet 1: Django application
- Droplet 2: PostgreSQL database
I want the Django app to connect to the PostgreSQL database on the other droplet. Could you please provide guidance or best practices on:
- Configuring PostgreSQL for remote access between droplets
- Firewall and security recommendations
- Any DigitalOcean-specific settings to allow smooth and secure connectivity
I would appreciate any sample configurations or documentation links that can help me set this up efficiently.
Thank you for your support.
