I've forgotten the password, if I reset it....
I’ve forgotten the password for my droplet. If I reset it via the dashboard, will the droplet be re-created? I don’t want to re-create it.

No, your Droplet will not be recreated. However, it will be powered off and then rebooted in order to modify /etc/passwd and apply the new root password.

How do I apply a Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate to a Wordpress Droplet?
There are two tutorials that I have been bouncing back and forth between. They are: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04 and https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-14-04 Neither of these tutorials actually work. I'm sure they work for some, but these haven't worked for me. I've gone back and forth with support about this when finally they said: <^>I see the problem now. Certbot only attempts connection via HTTPS when using the Apache plugin. So we are going to use the manual webroot plugin instead for first time setup. Try running this command instead: <^> ```sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html -d domain.org -d www.domain.org``` So, that creates the cert, but then the instructions don't work anymore. I can't be the first person to be doing this. Any suggestions on what to do next?

question
Droplet has lost outbound connectivity
So, today unattended-upgraded asked me for a reboot. No big deal I thought, and rebooted. After rebooting the droplet it can no longer connect to the internet, although i can connect to it from the internet. (e.g. via SSH or HTTP) Here is what I tried so far (I'm going to obfuscate the last octet of my IP addresses): ``` $ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 3e:0a:12:4f:9d:64 inet addr:46.101.39.xx Bcast:46.101.63.yy Mask:255.255.192.0 inet6 addr: fe80::3c0a:12ff:fe4f:9d64/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7765 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12573 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:856215 (856.2 KB) TX bytes:4933667 (4.9 MB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr aa:61:fa:a4:81:77 inet addr:169.254.72.zz Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::759e:acbc:907d:ef91/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:148 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:46798 (46.7 KB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:3091 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3091 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1 RX bytes:257445 (257.4 KB) TX bytes:257445 (257.4 KB) $ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 46.101.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 202 0 0 eth0 10.16.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 46.101.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.192.0 U 202 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 203 0 0 eth1 $ ping -c3 8.8.8.8 PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2015ms $ ping -c3 46.101.0.1 PING 46.101.0.1 (46.101.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 46.101.0.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2015ms ``` And here are a few observations: - I have no idea at all what the `eth1` interface is. It's not in `/etc/network/interfaces`, and I can't remember having seen it before (but then I never had the need to do network debugging on this droplet before). - I cannot bring `eth1` down using `ifdown` (`Unknown interface eth1`) though using `ifconfig down eth1` works (and doesn't make any difference). - I cannot even ping my default gateway. - I use ufw firewall, but it's allowing all outbound connections. `tail -F /var/log/syslog` while doing pings doesn't show anything being logged (logging is enabled for ufw). I'm getting desparate here. Does anyone have any suggestions?

question
My domains are taking too long to propagate through the DO DNS
I wonder if there's a limit on the domains you can have pointed to the DO DNS. I created a droplet managed by Server Pilot to host a few websites, the thing is that I¿ve already added the domains in the network panel, and changed the dns servers on the Namecheap dashboard, but it's been almost three days since the change and they are not pointed yet, I'm using whatsmydns.net to check. One of the domains is called elzodia.co if you want to check by yourself.
