    Just FYI to the community we tweaked the installation one-liner slightly to improve best practices a bit…

    Old:

    wget -O ss slick.fyi && bash ss

    New:

    wget -O ss slick.fyi/ss && bash ss

    This is because we are now using the slick.fyi domain for a few other things, such as in the root crontab as part of the self-healing function. Instead of hardcoding the raw files from GitHub, we now use this shortcut domain which means we could rapidly point SS servers to a “backup” server in case of GitHub problems like happened last week.

    See here

    It now “heals” from e.g.

    https://slick.fyi/crons/01-cron-minutely.txt

    So now https://slick.fyi/crons/* is 302 redirected using Cloudflare Page Rules to GitHub raw files, but in case of emergency we could point to GitLab or etc.

    This means we need a more unique URL for virgin installs which is why that is now slick.fyi/ss instead of just slick.fyi

    For now slick.fyi will also point to raw ss-install file, just like slick.fyi/ss however that will likely change in the future.

    TLDR slick.fyi/ss is now considered more canonical for retrieving the latest ss-install file during virgin SlickStack installations 🙂

    If any problems with functionality or DNS/security questions let us know.

    No reason, it was just available and cheap at the time… not anymore lol, I don’t recommend registering that TLD anymore.
