Best to my knowledge `ssh-copy-id` is not working with Dropbear, see comment [Dropbear not using SSH keys - #11 by Trimble-tech](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dropbear-not-using-ssh-keys/15798/11)

the key needs to be moved and configured manually as described in [Dropbear not using SSH keys - #2 by Joulinar](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dropbear-not-using-ssh-keys/15798/2)
