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)

Did this work for you?
