Unable to SSH connect to droplet following resize (Operation timeout)

Posted on December 2, 2021

Hi folks,

Any suggestions on how to restore connectivity to a Droplet following a resize on the Dashboard?

Since the resize, we have been unable to SSH to the droplet (timeout) and the webserver installed on the Droplet also doesn’t work.

Tried turning off/on and powercycle. No firewall in place. Have raised a ticket #5528866, but not sure on their response time.

Hey there!

It sounds like your droplet may be failing to boot. It may have a kernel panic or grub issue. Checking the droplets console may provide more details on what is happening. Our support team should get back to you soon as well.

Hope it helps! Nate
