Not sure what exactly this is telling me? The file [~/Users/austinmiles/.ssh/id_rsa] exists, why wouldn’t it be found? Also, why is it searching for a dsa key?

@abm

The Permission Denied error is a result of one of two things.

1). Your local private key (on your Mac) doesn’t match the public key on your Droplet;

2). Incorrect permissions on one or both keys.

…

If your local private key doesn’t match the public key on the Droplet, authentication will fail. Likewise, if you generate a new key pair locally and fail to update the public key on the Droplet, authentication will fail.

The private key you attempt to authenticate must match the public key on the server you’re trying to connect to using:

ssh user@droplet_ip -i ./ssh/private_key

If permissions are incorrect on the authorized_keys file or the .ssh directory on either end, login will also fail.

…

Generally when you’re locked out from SSH after repeated failed logins, the block is temporary, unless you have a firewall (such as ufw) active, in which case, you may need to login to console from the DigitalOcean control panel and login with root and the root users password.

If you deployed with SSH Keys, the root user won’t be setup with a password, and you may be locked out of the server as console doesn’t accept SSH Keys – only the root password.

Thanks for this @jtittle, how would I be able to confirm that I’m locked out? I did deploy with SSH unfortunately. Is there a specific lockout period? Do I have any other options. Do the keys need to match the ones used via a github deploy? I don’t quite understand the process of agent-forwarding.

    If you’ve destroyed the key used when creating the droplet, then you need to open a ticket in the control panel and request the Recovery ISO. This is a Debian based Live CD image that will allow you to boot your droplet, mount your droplet’s filesystem, reset your root password and perform other maintenance.

    When you deploy with SSH Keys, only the public key you provided DigitalOcean and the private key you have locally can be used to authenticate until you either add additional keys, or create a new user that allows you to login (such as a sudo user).

    If you change or overwrite the private key you have locally, it will no longer authenticate with the public key you have on the server, so you’ve effectively locked yourself out unless you have a backup of the older private key.

    You can enter recovery mode, as @hansen suggested, though that would effectively be the only option to regain access.
