For the time being, sending requests to me (like you've done) is fine. The tool is being worked on.

when I use this it replies with "No Keys". I'd like to get a public server setup. Is there a step by step guide somewhere? as in use static ip mapped to domain name or use ddns, then get/generate key and specify in config file etc

Keys are now only provided to well known individuals in the community that have been actively involved for a significant amount of time.

just to clarify, does this mean I will be unable to host a publicly available server without this?

Server keys are only given out to trusted members of the community.

I'd just recommend finding someone else to host the map for you.

When it's finished, probably, unless you want public feedback during development.
