How do I generate a SecretKey?

[dkowis]

Forgive the dumb question, I feel like this should be easy to figure out but I'm not able to figure it out.

I would like to generate the secret key and deploy it alongside ncps, so that it doesn't use an auto-generated secret key, but I don't know anything about that key and it's format or structure. How do I find that out?

AHA. After trying some different words in the search:

nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key

I think this is what I want to generate that public and private key?

ncps does generate a key on boot also, you don't have to do that yourself. It does so here.

Yeah! I was using it that way, but that made it harder to put in to my trusted keys setting in nix :)
