When re-running the node join script, the script refused to continue because it detected teleport already on the system. The script had a couple of instructions that removed teleport from the system. One of the steps is the removal of the teleport binary. However, it would recommend the removal of the binaries even for systems that had package managers. This fails because, even if the binaries (teleport, tsh, tctl) are removed, the package manager will still refuse to install teleport again because it was not removed from the package manager database. This PR changes the script, so that if it detects a package manager, it will instead ask the user to remove the teleport package and not directly removing the binaries.
Automated node join script for Teleport
This is an automated node join script for Teleport, which does the following:
- checks for an existing Teleport process, data directory, config file or Teleport binaries (and provides details how to clean up if any of these are present)
- tests connectivity to the given Teleport server host and port
- using either
nc,telnetor/dev/tcpif available - if none of these are available this step is skipped
- using either
- detects OS, distribution, architecture and appropriate Teleport package format, then downloads this package to a temporary directory and installs it
tarfor tarball extraction if neededdpkgfor .deb installsdnf,yumorrpmfor .rpm installs
- generates a Teleport config to set up a node and writes it to disk
- installs and starts Teleport

- cleans up downloaded archives afterwards
Things it doesn't do (yet):
- validate the checksum of the downloaded Teleport artifact against the published checksum
