Add instructions for API auth #198

Closed MichaelPereira closed 3 years ago

MichaelPereira commented 3 years ago

Hello,

Thanks for this very useful project to maintain a factorio server easily.

I was looking at automating the restart of the server after a reboot to make the maintenance even easier. Since I'm using the docker compose file, it's already mostly taken care of since the container restarts automatically, but the factorio server doesn't restart by default.

As I was trying to figure out how to automate this part, I spent some time figuring out how to get through the API authentication, so I'm publishing these instructions to help anyone else who would like to build some automation on top of factorio-server-manager

Cheers.

Nice thanks! We are going to break up the README into sections in a wiki so this will be a useful addition.
