    Distrobox

    Distrobox

    Use any linux distribution inside your terminal

    Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Distrobox uses podman, docker or lilipod to create containers using the Linux distribution of your choice. The created container will be tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the HOME directory of the user, external storage, external USB devices and graphical apps (X11/Wayland), and audio. Simply put it's a fancy wrapper around podman, docker, or lilipod to create and start containers highly integrated with the hosts. The distrobox environment is based on an OCI image. This image is used to create a container that seamlessly integrates with the rest of the operating system by providing access to the user's home directory, the Wayland and X11 sockets, networking, removable devices (like USB sticks), systemd journal, SSH agent, D-Bus, ulimits, /dev and the udev database, etc.

    Bats-core

    Bats-core

    Bash automated testing system

    Bats is a TAP-compliant testing framework for Bash. It provides a simple way to verify that the UNIX programs you write behave as expected. A Bats test file is a Bash script with special syntax for defining test cases. Under the hood, each test case is just a function with a description. Bats is most useful when testing software is written in Bash, but you can use it to test any UNIX program. Test cases consist of standard shell commands. Bats makes use of Bash's errexit (set -e) option when running test cases. If every command in the test case exits with a 0 status code (success), the test passes. In this way, each line is an assertion of truth. The Bats source code repository is hosted on GitHub. There you can file bugs on the issue tracker or submit tested pull requests for review.

    dehydrated

    dehydrated

    letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script

    letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script, just add water. Dehydrated is a client for signing certificates with an ACME-server (e.g. Let’s Encrypt or ZeroSSL) implemented as a relatively simple bash script. It uses the OpenSSL utility for everything related to actually handling keys and certificates, so you need to have that installed. Other dependencies are cURL, sed, grep, mktemp (all found on almost any system, cURL being the only exception). Please keep in mind that this software and even the acme-protocol are relatively young and may still have some unresolved issues. Feel free to report any issues you find with this script or contribute by submitting a pull request. dehydrated is looking for a config file in a few different places, it will use the first one it can find.

    acme.sh

    acme.sh

    A pure Unix shell script implementing ACME client protocol

    A pure Unix shell script implementing ACME client protocol. An ACME protocol client written purely in Shell (Unix shell) language. Full ACME protocol implementation. Support ECDSA certs. Support SAN and wildcard certs. Simple, powerful and very easy to use. You only need 3 minutes to learn it. Bash, dash and sh compatible. Purely written in Shell with no dependencies on python. Just one script to issue, renew and install your certificates automatically. Does not require root/sudoer access. Docker ready. IPv6 ready. Cron job notifications for renewal or error etc. It's probably the easiest & smartest shell script to automatically issue & renew the free certificates. After the cert is generated, you probably want to install/copy the cert to your Apache/Nginx or other servers. The ownership and permission info of existing files are preserved. You can pre-create the files to define the ownership and permission.

    tfenv

    tfenv

    Terraform version manager

    Terraform version manager inspired by rbenv. The trust-tfenv directive means that verification uses a copy of the Hashicorp OpenPGP key found in the tfenv repository. Skipping that directive means that the Hashicorp key must be in the existing default trusted keys. By default, console output from tfenv does not print a date stamp or log severity. Some variables allow you to pass a string containing a command that will be executed using eval in order to produce a prefix to each console output line, and each FILE type log entry. If you put a .terraform-version file on your project root, or in your home directory, tfenv detects it and uses the version written in it. If the version is latest or latest:<regex>, the latest matching version currently installed will be selected.
