Custom template

We can create a custom Jinja template file and use it for formating output data. The addresses are stored in the addresses template variable. Attributes of each device are described here 3.4 Addresses controller or we can use json format to get all attributes.

export PHPIPAM_HOST='https://phpipam.example.com/api/exporter/'
