Whole server went down impossible to connect #410

I had just set up 8 sites and everything was going fine, but then I went to change the domain name of the cipi panel itself and the whole thing just .... died.

No sites, no ssh even the digital ocean's last ditch console failed to connect to it. It's a dead box now - any thoughts on what I did or what I can do?

Thanks

Ok figured it out - it had simultaneously put me in fail2ban AND created a bad simlink to panel.conf in NGINX so when it tried to restart nginx that failed, and when I tried to SSH in to see what was up, there was a strange error that the public key was unusable even though it was "accepted" by the server. Which apparently was when fail2ban was activated.

Overall, I'd say there may be an error somewhere in the naming of the panel itself (where it says require ssh, I did click that button as well).

It made a simlink to panel.conf but never created the panel.conf.
