First droplet was 32-bit but install failed because there is no 32-bit Docker. Destroyed droplet and rebuilt as 64-bit. As expected, I needed to run ssh-keygen -R IP because the SSH key changed but IP didn’t.
No luck, it still demands a password! I’ve tried removing keys, regenerating keys and am stuck by my own security system. I’m not much of a hacker I guess!

If you selected a key when creating the droplet and you’re still being asked for a password when logging into it, that means your SSH client is not providing the key (or not providing the correct key) when you connect. You can diagnose this by increasing the verbosity of your SSH client by adding the ‘-v’ argument (and you can it more than once to get more output)
