Hello friend!

Most likely our console will not function well on mobile. There may be workarounds, but by default you would struggle to use it. I recommend an SSH client instead, there are many good mobile ones. The web console should be reserved for emergency.

The ssh on termux works.

as mentioned by @4split termux does indeed work—and quite well! a few pointers for anyone getting started:

  1. termux doesn’t come with ssh installed by default; you’ll have to install e.g., openssh:
apt update
apt upgrade
apt install openssh
  1. you’ll have to add your mobile device’s public key to your droplet’s authorized keys (follow the instructions here)

  2. termux distros of termux have been deprecated/you shouldn’t install from app stores due to security holes in outdated software (see termux github)
