Ouh je suis hypé !

sh -c "$(curl -sSL https://get.funkwhale.audio/)"

Et je vois venir les esprits chagrins, mais y'a aussi sh -c "$(curl -sSL https://get.funkwhale.audio/upgrade.sh)" ;)

So, now that the documentation is live (https://docs.funkwhale.audio/installation/index.html#quick-install), I can elaborate a bit more.

One legit critic we often get is that #Funkwhale is hard to configure, install and maintain.

Over the past two months, I've been working on two shell scripts to help with that, and they are now live and ready for use on Debian and Ubuntu servers.

sudo sh -c "$(curl -sSL https://get.funkwhale.audio/)" will get you a running Funkwhale instance in minutes, and take care of everything, including installing and configure Nginx, PostgreSQL, Redis, SystemD, Python and it's dependencies, etc.

sh -c "$(curl -sSL https://get.funkwhale.audio/upgrade.sh)" will upgrade an instance installed with the previous script to the latest version.

So, if you tried deploying your own Funkwhale pod but gave up because it was too hard, you may want to try again with this new method!

2/ Now, some of you are, legitimately, very wary of piping shell scripts from the internet to a shell. And you should.

We'll continue to maintain our other installation methods, and you should use them if you'd rather know what you're doing.

Ideally, we'd have proper packages to install Funkwhale on various platforms. But we simply don't have the resources to handle this now.

So, this script is a compromise between convenience and security.
