After creating a user (logged in as root) and trying to log in, I get “permission denied (publickey).”

Hi there @tcp,
What you have to do first is:
SSH to the Droplet as root
Create a new user:
- adduser your_user
- usermod -aG sudo your_user
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
to your new user’s home directory so that you could ssh as your new user:- rsync --archive --chown=your_user:your_user ~/.ssh /home/sammy
Note: change the your_user:your_user
part with your actual username.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
Strange… still the same "Permission denied. (publickey).
