I switched from sks to hockeypuck about a year ago and never looked 
back. It's basically maintenance free unlike sks weekly crashes.

There are two options that I know of:

1. Download PGP dump files from another sks or hockeypuck instance (both 
can be imported by hockeypuck):

> rsync -av rsync://rsync.cyberbits.eu/sks/dump . && cd dump && sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

2. Import the PostgreSQL database directly (probably faster) assuming 
you're using PostgreSQL as the hockeypuck database:

> -g hockeypuck pg_restore -v -F c -d hkp -f hockeypuck.psql

FYI I have a cron job to export these files weekly from my hockeypuck 
instance.

This might be because you don't have any keys at the moment.
