===========================
Installing on Digital Ocean
===========================
Goal
====
By the end of this tutorial, you should have a JupyterHub with some admin
users and a user environment with packages you want installed running on
`DigitalOcean <https://digitalocean.com>`_.
Pre-requisites
==============
#. A DigitalOcean account with a payment method attached.
Step 1: Installing The Littlest JupyterHub
==========================================
Let's create the server on which we can run JupyterHub.
#. Log in to `DigitalOcean <https://digitalocean.com>`_. You might need to
attach a credit card or other payment method to your account before you
can proceed with the tutorial.
#. Click the **Create** button on the top right, and select **Droplets** from
the dropdown menu. DigitalOcean calls servers **droplets**.

This takes you to a page titled **Create Droplets** that lets you configure
your server.
#. Under **Choose an image**, select **18.04 x64** under **Ubuntu**.

:alt: Select 18.04 x64 image under Ubuntu
#. Under **Choose a size**, select the size of the server you want. The default
(4GB RAM, 2CPUs, 20 USD / month) is not a bad start. You can resize your server
later if you need.
#. Scroll down to **Select additional options**, and select **User data**.

:alt: Turn on User Data in additional options
This opens up a textbox where you can enter a script that will be run
when the server is created. We will use this to set up The Littlest JupyterHub
on this server.
#. Copy the text below, and paste it into the user data text box. Replace
``<admin-user-name>`` with the name of the first **admin user** for this
JupyterHub. This admin user can log in after the JupyterHub is set up, and
can configure it to their needs. Remember the username!
.. code-block:: bash
#!/bin/bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterhub/the-littlest-jupyterhub/master/bootstrap/bootstrap.py \
| sudo python3 - \
--admin <admin-user-name>
#. Under the **Finalize and create** section, enter a ``hostname`` that descriptively
identifies this server for you.
.. image:: ../images/providers/digitalocean/hostname.png
:alt: Select suitable hostname for your server
#. Click the **Create** button! You will be taken to a different screen,
where you can see progress of your server being created.
.. image:: ../images/providers/digitalocean/server-create-wait.png
:alt: Server being created
#. In a few seconds your server will be created, and you can see the **public IP**
used to access it.
.. image:: ../images/providers/digitalocean/server-create-done.png
:alt: Server finished creating, public IP available
#. The Littlest JupyterHub is now installing in the background on your new server.
It takes around 5-10 minutes for this installation to complete.
#. Check if the installation is complete by copying the **public ip**
of your server, and trying to access it with a browser. This will fail until
the installation is complete, so be patient.
#. When the installation is complete, it should give you a JupyterHub login page.
.. image:: ../images/first-login.png
:alt: JupyterHub log-in page
#. Login using the **admin user name** you used in step 6, and a password. Use a
strong password & note it down somewhere, since this will be the password for
the admin user account from now on.
#. Congratulations, you have a running working JupyterHub!
Step 2: Adding more users

Step 3: Install conda / pip packages for all users
