Ok, I’ll setup both.
Yes, this is basically how it works. There is openqa-client tool for that (looks like it’s packaged in Fedora, but not in Debian), it pulls in ~250 perl packages…
Generally what is does it making a single POST request with fairly simple content, but authentication headers would need to be prepared manually (hmac of API path and timestamp using API secret). If using openqa-client directly would be an issue, I can probably write some ~10 lines of python doing the same.
Credentials request for openQA access sent in private email.
That can be the simplest option for now. Do you want to create one under Whonix org?
