 If you don't configure any private host key, the daemon will use `id_rsa` and `id_ecdsa` in the configuration directory. If these files don't exist, the daemon will attempt to autogenerate them (if the user that executes SFTPGo has write access to the `config-dir`). The server supports any private key format supported by [`crypto/ssh`](https://github.com/golang/crypto/blob/master/ssh/keys.go#L33).
