Hello everyone,
I am trying to setup my first ever Linux server so as to use it to host the calls between the members of my family using Jitsi.
I am trying to do this using Ubuntu server. Maybe it's a bad idea/distro, if you think so feel free to tell me, I'm totally new to Linux.
It is running as a VM under Unraid.
Unfortunately, I am stuck even before intalling Jitsi.
In order to make my whole setup a bit more secure, I have decided to disable remote login using password and to set the public private key methodology as compulsory.
I have made a .ppk file with the private key and am trying to use it with PuttY to access remotely to my server, but I am getting this error message when trying to establish the connection :
Could someone please give me hints as to what I might be doing wrong?
List of things I've done so far:
but using an Ubuntu VM I run on my Unraid NAS instead of one I would rent from a company. I have gigabit fiber at home to I'm assuming it should be working fine with a Ryzen 2600 for a little Jitsi private server.
I would like to thank in advance all the people who will take a moment to read this.

List of things I've done so far:
- Made my IP static
- Redirect my domain name to my static IP
- Set a static local IP for the Ubuntu server VM
- Redirect incoming traffic on the 2222 port I set up as SSH port in the sshd file to the Ubuntu server VM's local static IP
