It is the stream itself that is buffered, so the terminal does not handle the contents until the stream is flushed.

It all makes sense when you think about the way it will be parsed. I prefer to use newlines instead of semicolons to show the blocks more clearly.

for file in *.txt
do
    cat "$file"
done

The do and done serve as the loop block delimiters. Such as { and } in many other languages. The shell parser couldn’t know where stuff starts/ends.

Edit: I agree that the then/fi, do/done case/esac are very inconsistent.

Also to fail early and raise errors on uninitialized variables, I recommend to add this to the beginning of your bash scripts:

set -euo pipefail

Or only this for regular sh scripts:

set -eu

-e: Exit on error

-u: Error on access to undefined variable

-o pipefail: Abort pipeline early if any part of it fails.

There is also -x that can be very useful for debugging as it shows a trace of every command and result as it is executed.

This + node_exporter.

Refactor package structure

Files could be decrypted by the end user. The OS itself could remain unencrypted.

Nginx is pretty easy to set up. Look up “nginx virtual hosts”. You might want to use certbot/acme if you don’t have SSL certificates for your domain names. You need either a wildcard certificate (*.example.com), a certificate with SAN (Subject Alternative Name) containing the second subdomain, or two certificates (one for each subdomain). Note that subdomains can be found more easily than path based websites, if you allow connections from the whole WAN.

Could you specify what is wrong about Libretube? There is a background playback option and even an audio mode with no video.

Currently namecheap, but I was pretty mad to see that API access (for ACME DNS record auth, which I need to prevent downtime) was not available due to my yearly plan being too cheap (?!). You need to spend at least 50$ per months or have at least 20 domains for no good reason.

The best solution seems to acquire the domain using namecheap and then transfer name servers to a better service.
