I am using the Mastodon marketplace droplet, but I get “could not seed database” error. Can someone help with this?

Hello,
Once you setup the Mastodon Droplet, you need to SSH to the Droplet. On your first SSH login to the droplet, you will be greeted by a setup wizard that will create a working Mastodon server. Going in, you need to be prepared to enter the following information:
- Domain name (the DNS records should already point to the droplet)
- SMTP credentials for sending e-mails (this can be SparkPost, Sendgrid, Mailgun, etc)
