I am trying to install Litespeed in my Debian instance under Google cloud. I try :
sudo bash <( curl https://get.litespeed.sh ) my_serial_number
I get :
bash: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0
curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 8192)
I really wish projects would stop doing this. Running shell scripts fetched off of some web site is a security risk. Doing it as root is reckless at best.
Your command does not work as the file or pipe that the process substitution results in is local to the current shell, and you're expecting to read it in a shell started by sudo.
I would advice you to download the script separately, then read it to figure out exactly what it's doing, what files it's installing and/or changing on your system, and if it really needs to be run by root. Then run the script (now locally downloaded) once you know it is safe to do so.
Just like my case
. <(curl luisadha.github.io/weapon-url-opener)
The output should look like this
You run with curl
Only I don't know how the conditioning works
if [ something == /proc/self/fd/63 ]; then echo "You run with curl" fi
But I didn't find a way
