Add parameter and local config option to import tokens
Request details
Using automation to deploy reposilite now is hampered by the fact that persistent tokens can only be created through the cli.
I like to write an ansible playbook that deploys services, and when there are changes, I update the playbook and re-run it.
As it stands, the only way to do that with reposilite is to add --token to command line, so it always starts up with the same temporary token (parameter shows up in process list, unless I further obfuscate with env variable) or using expect (complicated, ansible would have to shut down the service, run the service interactively and then use expect to run the token-import command)
I wish I could use ansible to generate tokens.json and then add a parameter or config option to always have reposilite flush it's tokens and import from the file
As a workaround you can POST to the integrated Console like this:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/console/execute \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n admin:secret | base64)" \
-d "token-import tokens.json"
It works as if you entered the command manually:
{"status":"SUCCEEDED","response":["Importing 2 token(s) from [...]/tokens.json file:",
"Access token 'abc' has been imported.","Access token 'xyz' has been imported."]}j
Except I'll need the cli to create the initial token, which I could then use with the API.
Unless I'm misunderstanding?
@einsibjarni the initial token can be created via --token parameter:
- https://reposilite.com/guide/general#parameters
E.g.:
--token einsibjarni:password
In https://reposilite.com/guide/kubernetes#creating-the-first-access-token and https://reposilite.com/guide/tokens#generating-token token-generate is mentioned but does not work.
Yes, you can work around by adding
 - name: REPOSILITE_OPTS
  value: '--token admin:secret'
as parameter but changing that token afterwards is difficult
