Server signing PGP key

The keyserver uses a PGP signing key in order to sign public PGP key identity submitted on the server, if there is no signing key provided at start, a signing key is generated by the server, while this is convenient for testing, it's really recommended to use a signing key that you control and generated by yourself.

We recommend to create and use subkeys instead of a primary PGP key, there is an excellent guide at https://oguya.ch/posts/2016-04-01-gpg-subkeys/ for their creation.
