I added my Digital Ocean key and ran the install via the deploy button which spun up a droplet no problem and I could access the site via the IP. Then as soon as I update the domain name I get locked out of the Droplet (no access to console) and I can't get the site to load at all. A record was updated to correct IP. Just no longer able to load site or studio or even access console within DO.

Anyone? Is it just a case of the inbuilt deploy system doesn't work?
It seems like you're facing an issue after updating the domain name associated with your DigitalOcean droplet. Here's a breakdown of what might be causing the problem and potential steps to resolve it:
Possible Issues:
DNS Misconfiguration:
Firewall or SSH Configuration Issue:
SSL Certificate Problem:
Droplet Misconfiguration:
Steps to Resolve:
Access the Droplet via Recovery Console:
nginx
,apache
,ssh
, etc.) and firewall rules.Verify DNS Settings:
Check for SSL Issues:
sudo certbot --nginx
Examine Logs:
sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log
Firewall Rules:
Revert Domain Changes:
Redeploy:
Best Practices:
If you still encounter issues, I recommend reaching out to DigitalOcean support, providing them with details of the droplet and actions you've taken.

Hello,
It sounds like a DNS or firewall misconfiguration after updating the domain. Double-check A record propagation, ensure ports 22 and 80/443 are open, and try accessing the droplet via DigitalOcean’s Recovery Console for deeper troubleshooting.
