I going through the tutorial for initial server setup https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-14-04…
At step 4 I need to manually install the key, as it said in topic Add Public Key to New Remote User I need add the public key to a special file in the user’s home directory, but when trying to access root again from my laptop terminal using ssh root@my_ip_address_domain
it showing error Permission denied (publickey)
, I’m using ubuntu 16.04 and created droplets using ssh… Sorry if this question is simple, this is my first time using server

I have the same problem. Did you solve this problem?
From your machine you have to copy id_rsa.pub
content to your droplets ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
file
@Grork yes I already add the ssh key to authorized_keys manually… it’s not work…
Some checks:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
(on your computer)?
