Awesome (Linux amd64) CLI Binaries

This image builds a static version of tmux and downloads latest Linux amd64 binaries of popular terminal utilities. Quickly install the newest utilities on any Linux server.

Use-case

Working on many remote servers? Can't install your favorite tools for some reason? With this repo, you can quickly upload them to a remote Linux server, together with comfortable pre-made configurations.

Setup

  1. Install just on your workstation. (macOS: brew install just)

  2. Prepare the binaries on your workstation:

    git clone git@github.com/rafi/awesome-cli-binaries.git
cd awesome-cli-binaries

  3. Optional: To speed up things, you can pull the image from Docker Hub:

    docker pull rafib/awesome-cli-binaries

  4. Run just docker — this can take time! It builds tmux from source and downloads all binaries. (Make sure you have GITHUB_TOKEN or HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN environment variable, set with your token, to avoid GitHub's rate-limiting.)

  5. Finally, run just binaries to copy all binaries from image into bin/.

Provision Remote Node

Use the setup.sh helper script to provision servers.

./setup.sh -h
./setup.sh me@myserver.com [more...]

Sync Binaries

If you just want to update the binaries on remote, run:

just sync me@myserver.com [more...]

This will rsync local binaries at ./bin to remote ~/.local/bin.
