Question

I created a droplet that I can't connect to via IP Address

Hi all. Following the instructions in the link here (https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/rstudio), I created the droplet and added users according to the instructions on the page “Get started” of the droplet. But, when I tried to connect to the droplet via its IP address that I copied and pasted in a browser, it failed and I got the following message " Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. " Thanks in advance for your help to solve this. Best

Heya,

You need to follow the ‘Getting Started’ instructions on the marketplace page for rstudio

Access to the shell from Digital Ocean Control Panel (i.e. see the details here) or by using ssh. Then type adduser rstudio (or any other user) and hit ‘enter’. You are free to set “rstudio” as password, but please set a safe password.

Next go to https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/rstudio and check the rest of the Instructions.
