Updating mods on dedicated server

[randomic]

Is there a way to auto-update the mods on a headless server installation?

Currently, because the mods portal requires login, I can't simply wget the mod because it fails to authenticate. As such, to update mods I delete the old version and upload the new version from my local PC.

My upload is awful so it can be really slow for mods like angel's refining.

Is there a way I can remotely authenticate a mod download with my user and pass? Something like:

Code: Select all

wget https://mods.factorio.com/api/downloads/data/mods/103/angelsrefining_0.3.3.zip?user=randomic&pass=hunter2

At least that way I could automate it with a script.

Thanks in advance!

I'd love to see if there was ever an answer to this
