I just created a new droplet with a public key, but when I tried to ssh to the server, I get public key permission error. The server I am trying to get into is: 138.68.8.16
Thank you in advance!

Hello, @voltrue2
I would recommend you to check this two articles as they should help you to sort this out:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2 https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/add-ssh-keys/
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi @voltrue2,
It’s possible the key is not correct anymore or something is missing.
I’ll recommend you to take the key from the following file
cat ~/.ssh/id_pub.rsa
And put the contents on your droplet in the following place manually
vi ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Once you have, you should be able to login without a problem.
Regards, KDSys
