Create your droplet​

Head over to our Digital Ocean marketplace listing and create your droplet. You are free to create one even at the most basic configuration. No restrictions for you here.

Set up the password​

Set up the password for the DB Superuser postgres.

SSH into your instance using the user root and type in the following once you are in:

$ sudo -u postgres psql

This logs you into the psql terminal as the DB Superuser postgres.

Set your password with this command:
