[FEAT] Remote fetch

[abitrolly]

Description

I need to inspect my remote server without installing anything there. It would be nice if fastfetch could query required info remotely over SSH. Something like this:

fastfetch --ssh root@server

Motivation

Server is failing, and I need to get its specs without writing to filesystem.

Additional context

No response

You don't need to install fastfetch. You can just download the tar.gz package, extract it in /tmp and run fastfetch. Writing tmpfs doesn't touch your hard drive at all.

@CarterLi that doesn't work, unfortunately.

ssh root@server 'cd /tmp && \
   curl -sSL https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/releases/download/2.63.1/fastfetch-linux-amd64.tar.gz | \
     tar xz && \ 
       ./fastfetch-linux-amd64/usr/bin/fastfetch'
./fastfetch-linux-amd64/usr/bin/fastfetch: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./fastfetch-linux-amd64/usr/bin/fastfetch)
./fastfetch-linux-amd64/usr/bin/fastfetch: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./fastfetch-linux-amd64/usr/bin/fastfetch)

Try https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/releases/download/2.63.1/fastfetch-linux-amd64-polyfilled.tar.gz instead. If it still doesn't work, the OS is too old to be supported.
