SSH Connection Lost, but no recent updates and was working

Posted on January 23, 2026

I current have had a digital ocean droplet for the last 2 years and updating it frequently.

I recently updated it a couple of days ago, then went in to view the status using pm2 so no file updates a day after updating it. Then I went into the server and I was trying to use nvm but for some reason it was not working and just crashing out same with everything like pm2. So I went to reboot the server then ssh into it says connection refused, so then I checked the digital ocean console and it said the SSH connection Lost.

I am not sure how I can not even access my own server, from digital ocean. Thank you
