I thought my one-click discourse download was okay. but when I try to connect at my domain, i found this error in my browser -> err_connection_timed_out
couldn’t see discourse’s congratulation screen
reopening console, there was some texts with “no mail”…
**can you help me? I wanna know about my droplet’s problem. **

Hi there @mapal,
What you need to do after deploying the Discourse Droplet is to SSH to the Droplet and add the following details:
- 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
- Email Address to use if you wish to set up a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate
Once you’ve done that then you will be able to visit your domain name and see your Discourse installation.
If you have already done this, I would recommend checking if the Apache Docker container is running, you can do that by connecting to your server via SSH, and running this command:
- sudo docker ps -a
If it is not running, I would recommend trying to start it and checking the logs.
To try and start the container run:
- sudo docker start container_id_here
And then to check the logs run:
- sudo docker logs container_id_here
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
