安装Create An Easy to Use, Locally Hosted Bash Script Repository

In this example I'll be installing Apache2 on a Debian VM, but the server can be hosted on any OS or web server capable of serving .sh files.

Installing a Web Server

1. Log into the Linux device
2. Run the following commands in a terminal window:
   # update software repositories
   sudo apt update
   # install available software updates
   sudo apt upgrade -y
   # install apache2 webserver and curl
   sudo apt install apache2 curl -y
   # create a subfolder in the webroot to store .sh files
   sudo mkdir /var/www/html/bash -p

Creating a Sample Bash Script

1. Continue with the following command to create a sample bash script
   sudo nano /var/www/html/bash/whoami.sh
2. Paste the following script into whoami.sh

   #!/bin/bash
   echo "hello, today is $(date '+%A'). You are running me as $(whoami)."

3. Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes to whoami.sh

Executing the Sample Bash Script
