🔖 Feature description

Instead of utilizing password-based authentication when connecting remote agents to a central Dockge server, it would be handy to utilize an API key. Reason for this is because the remote agent's username, password, and IP/port are stored in plaintext within the database, which is insecure especially if the user deploying Dockge is reusing the same password in multuple places.

This would also be useful to tie into the docker compose file used when deploying Dockge, so that you can define a specific API key to authenticate with the remote agent without having to manually create a username and password every time you deploy a new instance.

✔️ Solution

• Implement API-based authentication for adding remote Dockge agents
• Create a docker environment variable to define an API key upon deployment, among an optional username and password
