The private SSH key that will be used by Jenkins to connect to droplets.

Make sure that the user that Jenkins will try to ssh as (you can specify the user in droplet's settings) has the public key corresponding to this private key set in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

If you set droplet's user to be "root", then this key must correspond to the public SSH key above, as DigitalOcean will automatically add it to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
