I’ve tried all sorts of kill commands. When I go sudo netstat -lpn | grep :3000 I get a PID for a process. I kill it an another one immediately appears. I’ve tried every command I found on stack overflow and nothing can kill it.
Is there a way to wipe my droplet? I just started it so this would be easier then spending any more time trying to debug this.
This all stems from the inability to run my node app, but I believe this will be the first step to solving the larger issue.

I found this that finally killed it killall -s KILL node . Maybe specific to this case, I don’t know. No other kill commands worked. Thanks for the reponses~
Perhaps search for node:
grep node -r /etc/systemd/system
And pm
grep pm -r /etc/systemd/system
Hi,
It’s likely your nodejs is running as a service in /etc/systemd/system and so systemd restarts it the second you kill it (it’s made to restart automatically). So check /etc/systemd/system for nodejs services:
systemctl |grep node
grep "3000" -r /etc/systemd/system/
If it’s there you can stop it or disable it:
systemctl stop <service>
systemctl disable <service>
Click on destroy in the control panel and there will be an option to rebuild. Select your desired image and hit rebuild.
