Looks like installing the bsky pds server is done via the "curl this opaque installer.sh and run it". This isn't necessarily so bad, but if you look inside the installer.sh it turns out to silently install Docker. That's… interesting. I feel like that's a surprising thing for a script to do silently and in the background. Isn't that kinda heavyweight?
