This private key is used to decrypt config files.
The corresponding public key can be used to create encrypted values for config files. If you want a simple UI to encrypt values you can put the public key in a HTML page similar to <https://renovatebot.com/encrypt>.

- `openssl rsa -pubout -in rsa_priv.pem -out rsa_pub.pem` for extracting the public key
