Adds a manual alternative install method for users that do not wish to use the Deploy Tool and give ssh credentials. Mirrors what the Deploy Tool does, but does it on the server itself; it does not need an external connection such as SSH. As in, it will take care of everything such as downloading dependencies, setting up services, verifying the signatures from both maintainers, generating credentials, etc.
Some areas diverge, such as user credential generation. Instead of using the Rust config_tool code to do this, for simplification purposes, /dev/urandom and qrencode are used as command line utilities to avoid having to re-build config tool from scratch (as it's not in the pre-built binary release).
The script itself is very intuitive. It's fairly easy to use; the only required parameter is the external URL of the server itself. It guides the user through the installation process, and at the end asks them to confirm with a curated curl command to ensure that their personal machine is able to connect to the server.
