I asked the DO tech support people but they just said create a new F23 VM and move stuff over.  Should it be possible to do the fedup upgrade somehow? - it would save me a bit of time . .

You can't use fedup on old Digital Ocean images which boot from an external kernel, simply because they boot from an external kernel and initramfs.

The new Digital Ocean images, introduced a few months ago, boot from the kernel installed within the VM, and thus _can_ be upgraded with fedup. I believe the first Digital Ocean image with this capability is Fedora 23.
