Write a state file with the machine provisioned, its ID and auth token #28
Description
This feature will write a state file with the machine provisioned, its ID and auth token
Expected Behaviour
A file (probably YAML file) should be written to disk after provisioning a host, it will be used by the user to be able to delete or reconnect to the host at a later date, it's especially useful if the auth token, ID or IP was lost.
Current Behaviour
In this scenario, I have to delete / re-create, or ssh into the exit server after doing a password reset.
Possible Solution
Write a file such as host-name-inletsctl.yaml with:
host:
metadata:
created_at: A
provider: B
region: C
ip: Y
id : Z
auth_token: A
pro: true/falseInitially, this will not be consumable by the CLI itself, but will act like a state file or reminder for the user.

@adamjohnson01 WDYT?

I would love this - possibly a command to give you the inlets command for a specific host, could we name them too?
adamjohnson01 commentedon Jan 18, 2020
@alexellis I think this is a great idea. I would be happy to take it on.

Yes sounds good, please take it Adam. Any input on how it should work or did this sound like a good first pass?
adamjohnson01 commentedon Jan 18, 2020
I like the idea about a commend that will give you the inlets command for the specific host if users are going to have multiple inlets then I think a single file that contains a list would be the way to go with potentially an easy to remember or descriptive name? Something like this?
I will get the file generation working and we can go from there.

Single file implies state and management, multiple files are throwaway, don't imply that we'll keep them up to date, they're more of a snapshot.
