      @windg What I did to get across this is to fetch the repositorys by hand opening a second SSH connection (no keyboard attached to cabinet). Will give it a try tonight again!
      I think there is a folder mismatch in the script. I couldn't find it to fix it, that's why I downloaded it during golang install.

        From a cursory look, @Lolonois is correct - one of the dependencies requires (at least) Golang 1.17 and compilation will fail with the version we install now with the golang dependency scriptmodule (v1.11.x).

        Bumping the required Golang version may be enough now, but in future if other dependency (direct or indirect) is upgraded to work with a newer Golang we'd be facing the same issue. One solution is to pin the dependencies to a certain version (using a go.mod file) or maybe just provide a binary installation option - the resulting scraper binary doesn't even need golang installed and has no other system dependencies. I'll see how complicated the former solution is, since I have no golang experience.
