ssh -o echoed out that root could not connect. I must have saved the pass at some point which would allow me to connect as ssh root@ without continually adding the pass. I tried this on another machine as well and ssh root@ required a pass…argh, my bad.
The main issue was I tried to add the keys to Digital Ocean after the droplet was created and failed to read their docs that explained you cannot do this, the following worked without having to edit the
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh root@[your.ip.address.here] "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
Lots of docs to read 
Staging and Production are setup! However have some deploy issues now.
When running ansible-playbook -i hosts/production server.yml I get the follow error
