Subject of the issue

After upgrade from Vaultwarden 1.21.0 to 1.23.1, server is unable to start. Error message is:
"[vaultwarden][ERROR] Error creating keys, exiting..."

Tracked it down to this commit: 46e0f3c43a, where the default RSA key format (and filename) is changed from DER to PEM. It seems that as a result, the existing DER files can no longer be found.
What is the correct upgrade path?

@BlackDex commented on GitHub (Dec 29, 2021):

It shouldn't be an issue, at all. But you may just remove all those files and new ones will be generated.
It will only only hurt current sessions and invite links which use those files.
