QR Code for bootstrapping

[agracey]

It would be really nice to be able to be able to scan a QR code that provides Rancher with all the onboarding data from a newly bootstrapped machine.

The workflow would look like:

• Boot installer on target machine
• After laying down partitions and rebooting, display QR code with any data needed
• User then logs into Rancher on their phone or tablet
• User browses to bootstrapping tab and clicks on "add machine with QR code"
• Rancher opens camera
• User scans code
• Rancher stores data and now can control device securely

That's a good idea. I'd just rather suggest to change slightly the workflow to make the deployment(partitioning, etc) happening after the registration. In such way we can prepare the machine registration inside kubernetes beforeahead, and if needed specify an image of choice to install in the node from the UI.
