I’ve been thinking about that a little, and have started a couple times to use Ansible rather than my set of shell scripts, but I’ve not quite gotten over the hump.

You could do stuff like that with the API, but you can’t use the API until you get an API key. To get an API key, you need to either use the web interface or (and I haven’t tested this) enter the container and issue a console command to generate and return the API key.
