[Ovmsdev] Simple Auth for api

[Info Zeitnitz]

Hi,
for people who like to manage cars and owners for a server V2 without Drupal:
you find a bash script to manage the cars and owners directly in the database at
https://github.com/zbchristian/ovms-server-docker.git (scripts/manage-db.sh)

The script expects to find the configuration at the relative path "server/conf/ovms_server.conf" and extracts the DB user, DB password, DB host from it.

Per default, the script stores the owner passwords in the DB as a Bcrypt hash. But its easy to change this to cleartext or another hashing method (function _pw_hash).

The script can initialize the DB as well (see Readme).

The script is part of my docker-compose setup for a minimal server V2 (only API V2, no Drupal, no HTTP API).

Hope this helps.

Regards
   Christian
