Docker version API enhancement

[svoropaev]

Hi!

API needs the credential and there is no way to create a user/password at the moment of Docker image deployment.
Now we need to create username/password via WEB interface and use the API then. It makes automatic deployment almost impossible. It would be fine to have a default username/password for local Docker image or it would be fine to be able to configure it in docker-compose.yml.
The same is for ip address range for authorised API users. Would be fine to have it enabled by default for 0.0.0.0/0 or to hve an ability to configure it in docker-compose.yml during the deployment.

Also Swagger ReST links (click "try it out") have a "topolograph" http://topolograph.com/api/ in the URL instead of localhost/127.0.0.1/or any other hostname which is used to reach the page.

Hi @svoropaev, new variables has been implemented

        TOPOLOGRAPH_WEB_API_USERNAME_EMAIL: '[e-mail]'
        TOPOLOGRAPH_WEB_API_PASSWORD: 'ospf'
        TOPOLOGRAPH_WEB_API_AUTHORISED_NETWORKS: '127.0.0.1/32,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16'
        SWAGGER_HOST: 'localhost:8088'

After booting docker-compose up - it's possible to create default credentials using variables from yaml file via single POST request

import requests
res = requests.post('http://localhost:8088/create-default-credentials')
res.json()
{'errors': '', 'status': 'ok'}

...right after this you can use them in other requests:

res = requests.get('http://localhost:8088/api/graph/', auth=('[e-mail]', 'ospf'))
res.json()
[{'graph_time': '14Jan2022_12h10m30s_13_hosts_demo', 'hosts': {'count': 13}, 'networks': {'backuped': 18, 'count': 40, 'notbackuped': 22, 'url_link': 'http://localhost:8088/api/network/14Jan2022_12h10m30s_13_hosts_demo'}, 'timestamp': '2022-01-14T12:10:30.815000'}]

Full docker-compose.override.yml looks like this:

version: '3'
services:

  flask:
    environment:
        NAPALM_USERNAME: cisco
        NAPALM_PASSWORD: cisco
        NAPALM_PORT: 22
        DNS: ''
        NETBOX_URL: '' # http://localhost:8000
        NETBOX_RO_TOKEN : ''
        TOPOLOGRAPH_WEB_API_USERNAME_EMAIL: '[e-mail]'
        TOPOLOGRAPH_WEB_API_PASSWORD: 'ospf'
        TOPOLOGRAPH_WEB_API_AUTHORISED_NETWORKS: '127.0.0.1/32,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16'
        SWAGGER_HOST: 'localhost:8088'

SWAGGER_HOST allows to send "try now" requests from swagger dashboard

Off topic, have you tried to integrate Topolograph with OSPF Watcher to get historical topology changes dashboard?

Hi Vadim. No I did not use this feature.
