borgweb doesn't tell users that they must use -e repokey during borg init

I initialized my borg repo with keyfile, and found the borgweb backup to be not functioning. When I tested on a throwaway repo with repokey mode, it worked. borgweb should have told user of this limitation.

Hmm, borgweb just invokes borg create via the commandline.

So I guess if the key is available on the machine and for the user doing that, all modes (repokey, keyfile and no encryption / no authentication / no key) should work?

Thanks for your reply. I think the CLI will work for my purposes for now.
