My account says I have 5 droplets but I’ve only deployed one. How do I create a second one with a different IP address within this set of 5? My first droplet is an R Shiny server. My second one will be a Jupyter notebook for Python. I do not understand the nature of a defined “project” to know how everything fits together.

Heya,
You can check this article here about the IPs:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/reserved-ips/how-to/create/
Having said that. Are you sure you need a second IP on your Droplets? Using a web service like Nginx/Apache as a reverse proxy can help you host multiple applications on the same Droplet.
Heya, @saraurchin
That might just be your Droplet limit, not the actual number deployed. DigitalOcean gives you a certain number of allowed Droplets, after this you need to request a limit increase.
Each new Droplet automatically gets its own unique public IP when created, so you don’t have to configure this manually.
