Hi there,

The console moved in the new UI. Go to your Droplet, click Settings in the left menu, then look for Recovery Console at the bottom of that page.

Hope this helps.

It moved around in the recent UI update - it’s now under the Recovery Console tab inside your Droplet’s Settings page. Not the most obvious place but it’s there.

Regards

It moved a bit in the new UI. Go into your Droplet, then open the “Access” tab and you’ll see “Launch Droplet Console” / “Open Console” there. In some views it’s also the little terminal icon at the top right of the Droplet page. If you don’t see it, make sure the Droplet is powered on and you’re logged into the right project, because the button disappears in some filtered views.

Regards
