Permission denied could not read from remote repository

I am attempting to clone a git repo from inside an ubuntu 20 server, but after it permanently adds my ECSDA key, I get the following error:

[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I do have access to it from my local machine, but how do I access that Github repo from this Ubuntu server?

I tried to clone it by running, sudo git clone [email protected]:MyRepo/api-service.git

To to be clear this repository is up on Github and I am inside an ubuntu 20 server trying to clone it.

Is this not a matter of adding the keys from Github?

Step 1. - From within your Ubuntu server run ssh-keygen -t rsa

Step 2. - From within your Ubuntu server run cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Step 3. - Copy and paste the resulting key and paste it into Github account, by going to Settings, then *SSH and GPG section and click the New SSH key button.

Step 4. - Go back to your Ubuntu server and run git clone [email protected]:MyGithubRepo/service-api.git
