For me, it turns out the Linux firewall was enabled and blocking the port. Nothing to do with IPv4 vs IPv6!

sudo ufw status will show whether Linux firewall is enabled or not.

I think the firewall was installed for me because I chose the Ubuntu + Docker base image for the droplet instead of the default Ubuntu image. Docker handles the firewall automatically.
