Before copy it. You should generate an id with ssh-keygen

Try ...

su www-data -s /bin/bash
cd ~
ssh-keygen

Copy the content of /var/www/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to your hypervisor host and paste into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys - be careful to not copy any whitespace or miss any characters.

then back to the guest ssh root@hypervisor accept fingerprint and you should be good to go.
