echo "HTTP v723install completed successfully" To execute the installation remotely, a client (e.g., another server or an IoT device) makes an HTTP request: Below is a sample that updates an HTTP service to version 7
The X-Version header helps clients verify they are receiving the correct installation package. The script itself should be idempotent and secure. Below is a sample that updates an HTTP service to version 7.23.
#!/bin/bash # v723install.sh - Installs HTTP service version 7.23 VERSION="7.23" INSTALL_DIR="/opt/http_v723" BACKUP_DIR="/opt/http_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d)" echo "HTTP v723install: Starting deployment of version $VERSION" if [ -d "$INSTALL_DIR" ]; then cp -r $INSTALL_DIR $BACKUP_DIR echo "Backup created at $BACKUP_DIR" fi Download new binaries wget -O /tmp/http_v723.tar.gz http://example.com/releases/v723/http_server.tar.gz tar -xzf /tmp/http_v723.tar.gz -C /opt/ Set permissions chmod +x $INSTALL_DIR/httpd chown -R www-data:www-data $INSTALL_DIR Restart service systemctl stop httpd systemctl start httpd
