Command Line Parameter for Install

[kjenney]

Great work on this!

I'm integrating this with my Docker Plex container and I'm building this via a bash script. For now I'm going to use Expect to complete the prompts but it would be nice to have a way to pass the parameters directly via the command line rather than the prompts.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been meaning to improve way in which command line arguments are handling anyway.

@kjenney I thought I remember reading some people were interested in having a Docker image for this, so if you're up to it, maybe pass along the link once you've got it underway so others can check it out as well

[wnielson]

I think having a Docker image would be great. Installation of PRT is pretty involved, so if a Docker image could reduce the friction of getting things running that would be great.

A question insted of use SSH can telnet be used?

[liviynz]

Telnet?? Sorry but wow...it's pretty much dead because it's a massive security hole, you'd likely have to manually bypass a lot of safeguards to use it. Apart from that I don't believe you can pass commands via the initial open connection command and I personally wouldn't put any time into going down that road considering the overhead is minimal and security benefits are massive using ssh.

@wnielson for cli / argument parsing, do you want to stick to the standard library (argparse) or maybe use a 3rd party library: http://click.pocoo.org/5/ ?
