netrun

Run scripts from the Internet in a way that is safer and more secure than running curl <url> | bash

Work in Progress

netrun is still experimental; don't rely on its working properly. In particular, HTTP response codes are ignored (see #1).

Try it

git clone https://git.kj7rrv.com/kj7rrv/netrun
cd netrun
python3 -m pip install requests # See note
python3 netrun.py https://git.kj7rrv.com/kj7rrv/netrun/raw/branch/master/demos/shell.sh
python3 netrun.py --interpreter=python3 https://git.kj7rrv.com/kj7rrv/netrun/raw/branch/master/demos/python.py
python3 netrun.py --help
python3 -m pip install requests # Or

Note: You could also install requests with your distro's package manager; just don't use pip as root or with sudo.

Installation

Single user

requests must be installed either with pip (run as the same user that is installing and will use netrun), or with your distro's package manager; do not run pip as root or with sudo

cp netrun.py ~/.local/bin/netrun
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/netrun
netrun https://git.kj7rrv.com/kj7rrv/netrun/raw/branch/master/demos/shell.sh

System-wide

Install requests using your distro's package manager first; using pip as a regular user only installs it for that user, and using it as root/with sudo is not recommended

sudo cp netrun.py /usr/bin/netrun
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/netrun 
sudo netrun https://git.kj7rrv.com/kj7rrv/netrun/raw/branch/master/demos/shell.sh
