Setting up server on Digital Ocean

[akshayarora2009]

Let's set up our servers on Digital Ocean.

@crypton3535 , I hope you have the credits set up in your account.

Steps: Just log in to digital ocean, click on create droplet and then choose the following options:

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 X64
Size: $10/month plan (don't worry, we'll delete it much earlier and will be charged less)
Data Center region: Bangalore, India
Leave everything else as it is, but choose a suitable hostname. (eg: auth-portal)

Create your droplet. You will get a mail telling you your root password.

Then create users. Do not work everytime with root user. You should work with your own user with sudo privileges.

Here's how to do that: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-sudo-user-on-ubuntu-quickstart

Cheers. Let me know when you are done.
