Multiple users under one droplet?

Posted August 18, 2015 4k views

Is it possible to have multiple users under one droplet?

Say I have 2 websites hosted using one droplet and would like them to belong to different users (not sure how nginx work when it comes to resource ownership etc.)?

You can definitely have separate websites running under their own system users on a single droplet. This makes it so you have separate SSH/SFTP access to each website. If you’re not very familiar with server configuration, you can instead use ServerPilot to run websites under different users.

Thanks again @jsamuel - I’m using Forge with Digital Ocean, but I can’t see an option to add additional users there :(

@sebssd Ah, ok. I’m not sure that Forge has an option for separate system users.

@jsamuel Well that’s the thing - I don’t think it does. When you create a new server / droplet it creates a directory designated for the forge under /home/forge, which serves as your home directory when you ssh.
