×Hello, @godfreyeretu
Did you setup your ssh keys when you were creating the droplets? I assume you have Password Authentication disabled and that’s why you don’t get a password prompt when you try to login.
Another thing to mention is that when you try to ssh into the server, the characters you enter during the password prompt are not displayed by default, so keep this in mind as well. When you get the password prompt you need to enter your password and you’re good to go.
You can follow this tutorial in order to add your ssh keys to your existing droplets:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/add-ssh-keys/to-existing-droplet/
You can access your droplets using the console from the control panel and import the content of your id_rsa.pub file into the authorized_keys file. The location of the file should be here: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys by default
Let me know how it goes.

@Alex thanks, i am not really savvy. I have added SSH keys in the control what next? please
@Alex i have managed to login to the console and made progress but i have a blue and red line in my docer compose build. what now?
Hello, @godfreyeretu
Are you still working via the console or you’ve managed to solve the issue and ssh from your computer directly?

Yes, thanks i did. But i have another issue altogether. i see a red Docker-Compose Build and Blue on Docker-Compose up no-start
Just in case you don’t know, in linux you watch nothing when typing the password. So you can be writting the right password withous noticing.
Hi @godfreyeretu,
please take a look at @rasomu suggestion, from reading your question I get the feeling this is the problem you are describing. It’s actually a feature!

Dear All, Sorry to keep coming again and again. I have run docker-compose build and it can’t find a .yml or a .yam1 file. i need a step by step since i am not a savvy guy. Thanks

Hi @godfreyeretu,
Try using the following command
Question
sudo docker ps -all
It should show you all the containers ever user alongside their exit code (Status column).
