I’ve created a new droplet using a image. I’m trying to connect to it through ssh but I’m getting a port 22: Connection timed out error.
I’ve tried rebooting the system through the DO console.
I’ve tried the following:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo apt-get install openssh-client
/etc/init.d/ssh start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d use the service(8) utillity, e.g. service ssh start
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to and Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utillity, e.g.e start ssh
sudo service ssh status
/lib/init/ upstart-job: 28 : shift: can't shift that many
sudo service ssh status
ssh start/running, proces 1702
When I go to the ip adres I get forwarded to the website.

Hello, @alucardu
If you’re able to access your droplet using the console from the control panel you can check if the ssh service is running using:
service sshd status
if the service is stopped/dead you can start it:
service sshd start
Also you can check if something else have taken the ssh port using netstat:
netstat -plunt | grep ssh
and
netstat -plunt | grep 22
If you’ve made changes to your ssh configuration (e.g switched ports) you should check for the port which is used from sshd
Hope this helps!
