🚀 Quick Start

Installation & Running

One command - automatic cleanup:

curl -sL https://git.mull.lol/cschantz/Linux-Server-Management-Toolkit/archive/main.tar.gz | tar xz && source linux-server-management-toolkit/run.sh

When exiting (option 0), answer "yes" and cleanup happens automatically - no extra steps.

Or if already downloaded:

source /root/linux-server-management-toolkit/run.sh

🔒 Security Considerations

• Run as root: Most modules require root access
• Credentials stored safely: Git credentials in ~/.git-credentials (outside project)
• No sensitive data in repo: .gitignore excludes keys, tokens, credentials
• Test first: Try on non-production environments first

📊 Recent Updates (v2.2)

January 2026 Highlights - Security Enhancements
