Why am I getting a “Permission denied (publickey)” error when trying to SSH to local server?

I have been trying to figure out this error for quite a while now.

I can not successfully SSH into my local server. I have followed some tutorials on how to check permissions of the .ssh files on both the server and client, but nothing seemed to help.

clement@cactus:~$ ssh 192.168.11.223
clement@192.168.11.223: Permission denied (publickey).
clement@cactus:~$ 

Server config file attached.
I added the last three lines trying to figure it out.

# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file.  See
# ssh_config(5) for more information.  This file provides defaults for
# users, and the values can be changed in per-user configuration files
# or on the command line.

# Configuration data is parsed as follows:
#  1. command line options
#  2. user-specific file
#  3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
# Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the
# configuration file, and defaults at the end.

# Site-wide defaults for some commonly used options.  For a comprehensive
# list of available options, their meanings and defaults, please see the
# ssh_config(5) man page.

Include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*.conf
