## Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Plane (Community Edition) 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the [DigitalOcean API](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api). As an example, to create a 4GB Plane (Community Edition) Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following `curl` command. You need to either save your [API access token](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token/index.html.md) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

```shell
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"planesoftware-planecommunityed"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"
```

## Getting Started After Deploying Plane (Community Edition)

## Default Settings

- Plane installation is available in `/plane` folder.
- `/plane/setup.sh` is the command to be used to manage the environment.

## Configure Domain

Login to the droplet terminal, and edit `/plane/plane-app/plane.env` using your preferred editor for `APP_DOMAIN`. Change `localhost` to the domain you plan to host this app on. eg. `plane.example.com`

Now restart the Plane services using `/plane/setup.sh restart`

## Configure SSL

> Your DNS configuration must point to public ip of droplet

To configure SSL, edit the file `/plane/plane-app/plane.env`. Change `SITE_ADDRESS=:80` to `SITE_ADDRESS=<app-domain>` e.g `SITE_ADDRESS=plane.example.com`

Restart Plane using `/plane/setup.sh restart`. This will take couple of minutes before the server is UP and Running with SSL certificate.

If all goes well, you should be able to access Plane on `https://plane.example.com`
