Current CLI

A new version of the CLI was released on 21. december 2023.
If you are looking for the old CLI you can find the documentation here.

Compatibility

The tools are compatible with the following distributions.

  • Amazon Linux, version 1, 2 and 2023
  • Debian, version 10, 11 and 12
  • Armbian, version 10, 11, and 12
  • Ubuntu, version 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04
  • CentOS, version 8 and 9

The script will check to see if it is running on one of these OSes and stop executing if not.

Running on CentOS 9

You should run this command first.

dnf install -y wget nano

Usage information

The Tempus Serva Linux script tools are open source (LGPL), and you are free to use and modify them however you see fit. The tools are defined by one python3 script and a single json file that stores the config.

As the tools themselves are subject to semiautomatic upgrades, we strongly recommend that you keep backups of files you have modified. Future versions of the scripts are not guaranteed to be compatible, with earlier versions or your own modifications.

Installing the tool

To install the tools, run:

wget -qO - https://builds.tsnocode.com/helpers/install | bash

This will check compatibility and install the required plugins.

To use the tool, execute ts.
