EDIT: Issue is resolved For future readers that may run into the same problem, this is what happened: It turns out that this is a connection error, and the SSH connection dropped. Most likely a network hiccup on my part, since my area is notorious for bad internet connection. To resolve this issue, just run the streisand script again, and it will continue where it left off, then restart the server instance to make sure the services use the new configuration files.

Original Post:

During a run on a newly created Debian x64 server (that was generated via the DigitalOcean API), the following error occured:

It looks like your SSH connection to the server might have died before the setup finished. You were so close too; this is the second-to-last step!

Oh dear, that looks like a issue on my side, isn't it? That's a bit strange since the server was set up entirely via streisand's interaction with DigitalOcean's API.

Would it be possible to fix this issue by having streisand edit the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file at the begining of setup to disable the SSH timeout, and then reenable it once setup is complete? That seems like a easy low-hanging fruit fix that would possibly help others who might experience this issue.

Also, how do I recover from this error? Should I rerun the streisand script? Nuke the server instance and start from scratch?

I'm hesitant to modify files outside of the repository's directory, even if the modifications are only temporary. Most SSH connection settings can be modified in the ansible.cfg file though, so if we can figure out exactly what is going on then perhaps we can tweak something there. My guess is that it was just a network hiccup of some sort though.

If you rerun the script and pass in the same parameters (e.g. the same region and server name) then the process won't create a new server. It will still step through all of the tasks for verification, but because almost everything has already been set up the second run through should be faster. You'll also want to reboot the server at the end, to make sure everything is using the configuration files that were modified in the failed run.

You can also just nuke the old instance and start from scratch too.

Alright then. Thank you for the prompt response! I updated the original post so others can solve the issue if they happen to encounter it.
