Hello there. I’ve done a clean install of Passbolt on Debian 9 on Linode but am stuck. Generated an admin user but when I go to set it up I get “Could not retrieve server key. Please contact administrator.”

seems strange that “The public key can be used to encrypt a message” but “The public key cannot be used to sign a message”.
How do I “Make sure that the server private key is valid and that there is no passphrase.”?
Also I ran gpg --home /var/www/.gnupg --import /var/www/passbolt/config/gpg/serverkey_private.asc as www-data and got this result:
gpg: key AE6BAF45A83D7870: “name <LEGIT_EMAIL>” not changed
gpg: key AE6BAF45A83D7870: secret key imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1
gpg: secret keys read: 1
gpg: secret keys unchanged: 1
so, not sure how to interpret that. Sorry if I’ve done something dumb! I’m pretty sure I followed https://help.passbolt.com/hosting/install/ce/debian-9-stretch.html exactly!
