Automatic deployment through the API

[loikki]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for developing this nice software. Unfortunately, I am struggling a bit with the automatic deployment of the server.

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am trying to deploy ravada fully automatically with ansible. Unfortunately, some operations are tricky (e.g. adding a node). My current solution is to use mysql and directly insert into the table vms which seems extremely dirty as I am bypassing any processing you would do when adding the node.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to have the API a bit more documented. It was easy to find the query to send to the backend (firefox dev tools + source code) but I failed to figure out the login (I did not look for too long as I have the sql solution).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Having the option in rvd_back would work too but I think it would be easier for you to just document a bit the frontend as it does not require any additional code development (or just some curl friendly authentication).

Thank you for your help and time
