What spec is the droplet? Usually you get this message with a very low spec machine, slow disks and low ram

yep, install always hangs at that point when you don't have enough RAM. The bare minimum for the install script to complete is 2GB, 4GB is needed once you start adding agents.

ok, yes I was only using 1GB for testing. The other issue is openssl doesn't seem to be easily recognizing the TXT records. I am having hit and miss success with this.

How quickly after adding the TXT record are you hitting enter? I find the fastest I can do it is after 5 minutes, on some dns providers this will be longer.

I'll try waiting more than 5 minutes to see if that helps, thank you!

In regards to the TXT record... the TTL matters. Whatever that number is,
you need to wait at least that long if it is a record you are changing and
is not a new record.

Is there a way to restart the script without rebuilding the droplet? It seems if it fails more than 3 times and I restart the install script I get a looped error on trying to obtain a new cert

Agreed to the TTL, but some hosts update it quicker than the TTL it depends what DNS servers the lookups are against. If it’s direct the TTL shouldn’t matter which is how I think letsencrypt works.

There’s no way to restart the script, best to rebuild the server and start again. You don’t want to try and verify it too many times with letsencrypt as eventually they will block requests or automatically decline them. Best to verify using https://dnslookup.online/txt.html or similar.
