Ubuntu Server API

HTTP friendly API (HATEOS or Websockets) for admining remote Ubuntu servers. Designed to support Ubuntu Server GUI.

Status - Developer Preview

Early version of the app I'm releasing to get developer feedback. It has the basic architecture in place and PAM authentication. For now I only recommend running it on local testing/development servers.
