Hi!

We have 2 Hydra instances behind a load balancer. `secrets.system` is not set on any of the two instances.
From time to time some requests fail with a status 500 and the message "Could not ensure that signing keys for "hydra.openid.id-token" exists. [..]". This tends to happen in batches. That is, during a couple of minutes we see a lot of failures and then everything starts working again.

I have two questions:
• Can these errors be related to the lacking `secrets.system` configuration field?
• Is it possible to set `secrets.system` now, or would we lose the ability to read all the pre-existing data?
Thanks
