Proper resize of droplet

Posted on August 7, 2017

Hi there,

I want to resize my droplet to higher plan with CPU and RAM expansion. My question is: when I shutdown droplet in console with typing “sudo shutdown -hP now” and then go to web panel and activate the resize everything after that will be working fine? Droplet will reboot and there will be nothing to set?

As far as I remember you will have manually to power on Droplet after resizing is completed. Once it’s over and you power it on, everything should work same as it was before resizing.
