Hi there,
The error message indicates that you are trying to use an invalid Droplet image. Can you share your main.tf file here and mainly the this resource:
resource "digitalocean_droplet" "njogubless"
The following should work as expected as long as you provide a valid image name:
resource "digitalocean_droplet" "web" {
image = "ubuntu-20-04-x64"
name = "web-1"
region = "nyc2"
size = "s-1vcpu-1gb"
}
Best,
Bobby
