×Hi @ahabeel,
If your droplet is actually on however it’s not pinging, most probably your network has been stopped due to some reason.
To check this, you’ll need to enter the droplet via it’s console from your DigitalOcean control panel. Once you are in, check if your network is indeed not running
Question
service network status
If it says it’s offline execute the following command
service network start
If there are no problems with your droplet, the network should start immediately. If it doesn’t, it should state the reason behind it’s failure. If it still doesn’t, you’ll need to execute
journalctl -xe
And see the exact reason behind the start failure.
