Why do you need a domain name?
The domain will be used to generate the host names for each FlowForge project you deploy
FlowForge needs a way to send email to verify new users and to send invites when users are added to teams. To do this you will need to have details of a SMTP server that will allow you to send email.
If you do not have a SMTP server you can set one up using a service like SparkPost, Sendgrid or Mailgun.
You can skip this step and configure it later, but the platform works best when setup from the start.
On your first SSH Login to your droplet or when you connect to the Droplet console you will be greeted by a wizard that will guide you through setting up the domain name and starting your FlowForge instance.
Before entering your hostname you will need to add an A record for your domain.
Once the wildcard A record has been created you can enter it into the wizard. The wizard will then update the configuration files and start the FlowForge Application. The final configuration is done via the web interface on the hostname that will be in final message from the wizard.
Details of how to complete configuration can be found here
