Regularly update nameservers' Linux packages
I'd like to keep the nameservers fresh, and this commit incorporates
`apt-get update` in the procedure to update the sslip.io nameserver
because I'll be rebooting the servers anyway (rebooting is key because
I'd like the updated kernel to match the running kernel).

Release Procedure

These instructions are meant primarily for me when deploying a new release; they might not make sense unless you're on my workstation.

export OLD_VERSION=4.2.0
export VERSION=4.2.1
cd ~/workspace/sslip.io
git pull -r --autostash
# update the version number for the TXT record for version.status.sslip.io
sed -i '' "s/$OLD_VERSION/$VERSION/g" \
  bin/make_all \
  spec/check-dns_spec.rb
# update the download instructions on the website
sed -i '' "s~/$OLD_VERSION/~/$VERSION/~g" \
  Docker/sslip.io-dns-server/Dockerfile

Optional: Update the version for the ns-gce, ns-hetzner, and ns-ovh install scripts

pushd ~/bin
sed -i '' "s~/$OLD_VERSION/~/$VERSION/~g" \
  ~/bin/install_ns-{gce,hetzner,ovh}.sh ~/bin/install_common.sh
git add -p
git ci -m"Update sslip.io DNS server $OLD_VERSION$VERSION"
git push
popd

Build & start the new executables:

bin/make_all
# Start the server, assuming macOS M1. Adjust path for GOOS, GOARCH. Linux requires `sudo`
bin/sslip.io-dns-server-darwin-arm64

Test from another window:

echo '"Queries: 13 (?.?/s)"'

Review the output then close the second window. Stop the server in the original window. Commit our changes:

Trigger a new workflow to publish the Docker image: https://github.com/cunnie/sslip.io/actions/workflows/docker-sslip.io-dns-server.yml

Update the webservers with the HTML with new versions:

ssh nono.io
cd /www/sslip.io/
git pull -r
exit
for HOST in {blocked,ns-do-sg,ns-gce,ns-hetzner,ns-ovh}.sslip.io; do
  ssh $HOST curl -L -o /var/nginx/sslip.io/index.html https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cunnie/sslip.io/main/k8s/document_root_sslip.io/index.html
done

Browse to https://github.com/cunnie/sslip.io/actions/workflows/nameservers.yml, trigger the workflow, and check that everything is green.
