Cannot ssh to the ubuntu droplet from osx

I am trying to create a droplet on digital ocean with my public ssh key, droplet starts up fine, but than I cannot ssh to it. it prompts me for the password.

I went to the ubuntu server console trough digital ocean and looked at ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and I see my public key.

This is the output of ssh {server_ip} -v command:

You are authenticating as a {myuser} and you are showing us a home folder of root. It is not clear what you want to achieve, but there are two possibilities:

  1. You want to authenticate as {myuser} and then you need to copy the authorized_keys to the appropriate home directory (/home/{myuser}/.ssh/) and fix the ovnership.

  2. You want to authenticate as a root and then you should use:

    ssh -v root@{server_ip}

    but make sure you have root login allowed (PermitRootLogin option in sshd_config)! And note that it is not recommended setup.
