Azure DevOps Server local install Extension over REST API

Question

The article Install Extension By Name describe how to install a extension from the marketplace by its name.

Is it also possible to install a extension locally to a Azure DevOps Server?

1. Step: server_ip/_gallery/manage

2. Step: Upload

3. Step: Install

It would be great to make these steps programmatically.

PowerShell Script for add or delete a Extension based on a .vsix file to a Azure DevOps Server extension gallery:

$PAT = "PersonalAccessToken"
$Uri = "http://ip:port"
$timeout = 30

#AUTHORIZATION HEADERS
$headers = @{
    "Authorization" = ('Basic {0}' -f [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($PAT)")))
    "If-Match"      = ""
}

#VARIABLE
$publisher = "YourPublisherName"
$extension = "YourExtensionName"
$vsix = "YourVsixPath.vsix"

#DELETE EXTENSION
$api = "api-version=5.0-preview.2"
$url = "$Uri/_apis/gallery/publishers/$publisher/extensions/$($extension)?$api"
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method DELETE -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers -TimeoutSec $timeout -Verbose
Write-Host $result

#ADD EXTENSION
$api = "api-version=3.0-preview.1"
$body = '{{"extensionManifest": "{0}"}}' -f ([Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($vsix)))
$url = "$Uri/_apis/gallery/extensions?$api"
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method POST -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers -Body $body -TimeoutSec $timeout -Verbose
Write-Host $result
