Why does this need to pipe a script into bash from a non-github origin?

And in that script, you're actually piping another script from yet another domain (`https://goblin.reaper.im/`), where reaper.im looks like some kind of ad-infested parking domain?



You can also install it with go, I updated the readme

go install github.com/remorses/docker-phobia


Looks like goblin.run is a project that lets you install golang projects without having golang installed. OP should probably preface the installation script with this.


or just use, I don't know, docker?


> or just use, I don't know, docker?

The author is apparently afraid of docker, hence Docker-phobia.


touche!


Aren't go binaries statically compiled? Why is anything other than a static binary download and `chmod +x` even needed?


sure, for each arch.. or just use the thing that the tool is designed for as the distribution mechanism. A `docker run ...` is one step, not the two you're advocating.
