Setting up Aqtra Platform for DigitalOcean Cloud

For installation of the Aqtra Platform for DigitalOcean you need to use an image of a virtual machine (snapshot) accessible from DigitalOcean Marketplace. During your first installation you will need to use the default "servadmin" account with automatically generated password. This password you can find at virtual machine terminal or inside the "/root/sp_pwd" file.

After a successful installation, there will be two main areas available to you inside Aqtra Platform – Studio and Workplace.

Aqtra Studio is a tool you will use to configure your low-code applications. It is available at "http://your_droplet_public_ipv4/studio", where IP-address, that public IP of your virtual machine instance or it’s DNS domain name. For example: "http://192.168.0.1/studio/" or "http://test.aqtra.io/studio/".

Aqtra Workplace is where you and your users will access the applications you’ve developed.

It will be available at "http://your_droplet_public_ipv4". For example: "http://192.168.0.1" or "http://test.aqtra.io".

If you want to change your application domain name, you need connect with ssh to the virtual machine (droplet), where the platform is installed. (For your convenience we recommend using a tool like "Putty" or similar.). Then you’ll need to run command "sudo aqtra-platform set_domain test.aqtra.io" using terminal access (change to your domain name before executing the command).

To start working with Aqtra Platform Studio, you need use account "servadmin" with auto-generated password accessed as described above. If you ever need to reset this password outside Aqtra Studio, you must first connect using ssh to the virtual machine where the platform is installed. Then you’ll need to run "sudo aqtra-platform reset_password" command using terminal client.
