After you create a Magento One-Click Droplet, you’ll need to log into the Droplet via SSH to finish the Magento setup. This prevents the setup wizard from being visible to the internet until you’re ready to complete it. If you try to visit the Droplet’s IP address before logging into the Droplet, you’ll see a DigitalOcean landing page.
From a terminal on your local computer, connect to the Droplet as root.
Make sure to substitute the Droplet’s IP address.
ssh root@use_your_droplet_ip
If you didn't add an SSH key when you created the Droplet, you’ll first be prompted to reset your root password.
