Make ghost backup support --admin-email, --admin-password arguments

[nilsnh]

Hi! 👋

I would like to do automated backups using ghost backup on my server. However, it prompts for administrator email and password. Link to relevant source file.

Ideally, I should be able to supply the required CLI arguments for admin email and admin password, so that ghost backup can run unsupervised.

I can try and make a PR for this feature, if that sounds ok. 😸

For now I solved this by using the expect command to handle the interactive prompts.

Sample expect script script.exp:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

set timeout -1
spawn ghost backup --no-color --dir $::env(DIR)

expect "Enter your Ghost administrator email address"
send -- "$::env(EMAIL)\n"

expect "Enter your Ghost administrator password"
send -- "$::env(EMAIL_PW)\n"

expect eof

Use chmod +x script.exp to make the script executable.

Call the script with DIR=/your-ghost-installation EMAIL=admin@mail EMAIL_PW=somepassword ./script.exp
