# Generate SSH Key
**We strongly recommend setting a SSH key because you may need to access the Rails console for debugging purposes. This <i>cannot</i> be done after bootstrapping the app.**
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"
(We want the default settings, so when asked to enter a file in which to save the key, just press <kbd>enter</kbd>. Via [GitHub's SSH guide][ssh].)

- The name of your droplet is your reverse PTR record, so rename your droplet to `forum.example.com` so the PTR record correctly reflects your domain name.
# Add Your SSH Key

# Log In and Become Admin
Sign into your Discourse instance. If you configured `DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS` and your email matches, your account will be made Admin by default.
If your account was not made admin, try SSH'ing into your container (assuming you entered your SSH key in the `app.yml` file):
./launcher ssh my_container
sudo -iu discourse
cd /var/www/discourse
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails c
u = User.last
u.admin = true
u.save
This will manually make the first user an admin.
Sign into your Discourse instance. There should be a reminder visible on the site about which email was used for the `DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS` address. Be sure you log in with that email, and your account will be made Admin by default.
