## Getting to a Shell

### Hardware

wisko is a higher-end 1-CPU Digital Ocean droplet.
* 1 CPU
* 50 GB SSD
* 2 GB RAM

IP address: 138.68.10.168

### Spin Up Hardware

* Follow the Digital Ocean steps to spin up a droplet in the SF region.

* Once the droplet is created, get the IP address.

### Set DNS Records

Add the following DNS records:

**A Record**:
* Record: none (set to @ automatically)
* Value: 138.68.10.168

**A Record**:
* Record: git
* Value: 138.68.10.168

**CNAME Record**:
* Record: 

### Connect to Droplet

Check that the Droplet has been booted and is listening:

```plain
$ ping -c 4 138.68.10.168
PING 138.68.10.168 (138.68.10.168): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 138.68.10.168: icmp_seq=0 ttl=56 time=28.494 ms
64 bytes from 138.68.10.168: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=26.120 ms
64 bytes from 138.68.10.168: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=25.972 ms
64 bytes from 138.68.10.168: icmp_seq=3 ttl=56 time=27.232 ms

--- 138.68.10.168 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 25.972/26.955/28.494/1.014 ms
```

Now connect to the droplet. By default, you log in as as the root user:

```
$ ssh root@138.68.10.168

[...bunch of login stuff...]

root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-2gb-sfo2-01:~#
```

Now we're ready to get started.
