The universal installer and updater to (container) tools

⚠️ uniget is in the process of being migrated to GitLab. The migration is being tracked here. There is only one thing, you need to do: regularly update the uniget CLI using uniget self-update. ⚠️

uniget is inspired by the convenience script to install the Docker daemon. But the scope is much larger.

uniget is meant to bootstrap a new box with Docker as well as install useful tools from the container ecosystem and beyond. It can also be used to update these tools. It aims to be distribution-agnostic and provide reasonable default configurations. Personally, I am using it to prepare virtual machines for my own experiments as well as training environments.

Tools are downloaded, installed and updated automatically.

Download and run uniget:

curl -sLf https://github.com/uniget-org/cli/releases/latest/download/uniget_linux_$(uname -m).tar.gz \
| sudo tar -xzC /usr/local/bin uniget

See the documentation site.

The uniget CLI comes with help included. The following scenarios are meant as quickstart tutorials.

By default, uniget will only install a small set of tools.

uniget install --default

List which tools are available in uniget:

uniget list

It is possible to install individual tools:

uniget install gojq
uniget install kubectl helm

You can search for the specified term in names, tags and dependencies:

uniget search jq

Updated tools which are already installed:

uniget update
uniget upgrade

Show which tools will be processed and updated:

uniget install containerd --plan
uniget upgrade --plan

By adding the --reinstall parameter, the selected tools can be reinstalled regardless if they are outdated:

uniget install gojq --reinstall
