The universal installer and updater to (container) tools
Purpose
uniget is inspired by the convenience script to install the Docker daemon. But the scope is much larger.
uniget is meant to bootstrap a new box with Docker as well as install useful tools from the container ecosystem and beyond. It can also be used to update these tools. It aims to be distribution-agnostic and provide reasonable default configurations. Personally, I am using it to prepare virtual machines for my own experiments as well as training environments.
Tools are downloaded, installed and updated automatically.
Quickstart
Download and run uniget:
curl -sLf https://gitlab.com/uniget-org/cli/-/releases/permalink/latest/downloads/uniget_Linux_$(uname -m).tar.gz \
| sudo tar -xzC /usr/local/bin uniget
Docs
