Provide an alternative to setPassword

[jo66]

Hi,

The /vps/{serviceName}/setPassword method returns this on my VPS (SSD1-2018):
"This function is not available on your VPS"

From the OVH support:

Cet appel API est déprécié. Il est désormais proposé pour les VPS 2014.

I guess it was deprecated for security reasons, but API should provide an alternative way to set password, or at least any other way to connect in ssh from script to VPS newly ordered with API.

I agree to contribute with a PR but I need help.

I really don't want my script to fetch mails to obtain password, it would be very ugly!

Regards

You can use OVH Public Cloud and set a SSH public key when you start your instances.
And then, no more password ;)

@Alkorin I am not specialist in OVH offers but Public Cloud involves monthly fees right?

A better solution than fetching email is to use API to get notifications.
Seems that it's also possible to use ssh key by reinstalling VPS with /vps/{serviceName}/reinstall.
Since ssh key is more secure than password I will close this issue for #91
