Hello, I have a problem there is his 3 days I reinitialize my droplet because of a problem and when I’m on it for the first time I try to update it but when I made the order “apt update” or “apt-get update” I get this error after about 5 min without anything happening:

Hi,
From the output that you’ve provided us with it looks like your droplet is having general DNS trouble as it’s also unable to resolve domain names.
What is the current content of your /etc/resolv.conf file?
Can you also try pinging well known domains like google.com?
Regards, Bobby
