Description

Problem

I am installing netdata on PXE booted systems without persistent storage. For this reason I've automated the whole setup. I would like to automatically verify the downloaded kickstart.sh with its MD5 sum. Currently I have to be aware when the sum changed to update a file on our webserver.

Hopefully, I've just missed the place where the checksum is on github. 😅

Description

I'd like to curl https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh.md5sum (or similar) which contains the MD5 sum (eg. md5sum kickstart.sh), so it can be used directly in scripts to verify the downloaded file. Thank you.
