Below is the main trouble-shooting steps missed on the above post.

As per: Pathfinder - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/users/pathfinder - Run below also.

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install requests

Add below step too, missed on their aticle.

Need to export the DA_TOKEN variable to match your personal DA API token

export DA_TOKEN=<your-personal-digital-ocean-API-token>

Reboot both servers, all done and test it with curl command or browser

Very important point: While you play around with re-booting servers on DA
Secondary is only a back-up server.
Floating IP will point to Secondary server automatically the moment Primary server is down
* But not the vice versa


All done :)

* Open to anyone to correct me, if the * statment is wrong, ready to hear your thoughts too.
