Automatically link 10's of headless linux hosts to a dropbox account
We have 10's of ec2 servers that come and go frequently and we need to automatically link them to our dropbox accounts with no human involvement. We are ok to code this not sure how as the current method of installing the headless dropbox client just prints
This computer isn't linked to any Dropbox account...
Please visit https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=405cde60070frfrfrf6ac1f7b7ca4eb94c to link this device
where a human then needs to get involved for each host linking. This is not practical beyond a handful number of hosts.
how can we automate this linking? Something like that we could get a token from dropbox.com and then present it to each server so that they could automatically link themselves up to dropbox.
Please note that we need the dropbox daemon and do not want to synch files ourselves through api.
