Can an instance be registered with Nuxeo Connect via the command line?

I'm trying to write a shell script to deploy development instances of our repository, instead of bothering developers with clicking through a how-to document and following the wizard's prompts.

I didn't see anything in the documentation or the answers.nuxeo.com forum about this.

Hi,

There's a NuxeoCtl improvement planned about that: see NXP-11842. There are small chances to have it before the 5.8 release, but maybe for the Nuxeo 5.9.1. That would be useful indeed.

Waiting for that, you can still copy a previously generated registration file (ie: all instances will share the same registration, that is only viable for development instances, not for production): the file is named instance.clid and is located at the root of the data directory (usually nxserver/data for a development instance).

What is your question?

Can an instance be registered with Nuxeo Connect from the command line? That is, is there another way to register a development instance besides filling out the web-based form in the UI? For example in a provisioning script that combines downloading all of the system dependencies and custom code into a virtual machine.

Today this is not available. If there is sufficient demand, especially from a customer having a support contract ;-), we'll add it.

Thank you. I will give this a try. This is indeed only for development -- ordinarily it would not be a big deal to me to fill out the form, but I am finding that I have to tear down and rebuild the VM many times to accommodate other software that's being installed in the same environment.
