@tinker @kentbrew I too am hosting my instance on DO, and they just updated their 1-Click with the latest version of Mastodon as well.

@tim @tinker my tiny neophyte brain is choking on the usage of the word "should" on https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon:

"Domain name (the DNS records should already point to the droplet)"

Does this mean that the setup process should already have done this for me, or does it mean I should have already pointed DNS to the droplet?

@kentbrew @tinker yes, you should have your DNS updated pointing to your droplet already. Part of the reason for this is that SSL certificates by Let's Encrypt will be setup and if the DNS isn't setup the SSL certs can't be setup/validated.
