Headless and SSH servers

If you are working on a server without a browser: 
panguard login --no-browser
This prints an authentication URL that you can copy and open on any device with a browser. After completing authentication on that device, the CLI session activates automatically. 
  Open the following URL in your browser to complete login:
  https://panguard.ai/login?cli_state=abc123&callback=...

The --no-browser flag is useful for CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, and remote servers accessed via SSH.
