RSA private key encoding too long

[razonyang]

The doc about generating RSA private key seems out of date - https://staticman.net/docs/getting-started.html#step-2-deploy-staticman.

This works for me (OpenSSL v3).

openssl genrsa -traditional

Does not work for me.

Tried both (with -traditional and without). Still fails when running on fly.io:

Try with openssl genrsa -traditional | sed '$!s/$/\\n/' | tr -d '\n'
