Following tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-20-04 All steps are executed without error. When running: sudo ssh user@serverip, I run into Permission denied (publickey) I can open a DO console with that user, having defined the SSH key as required.

Hi @c1eeafbe1209-4042-a259-21aae7,
Probably your server require the private key id_rsa and cannot find it. This file is located in
/home/{your_user}/.ssh/id_rsa.Additionally, for security purposes, check that you have the correct permissions in this file.
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
