new: cross-seed.sh

Hi, I'd like to contribute with a script to install cross-seed.

My goal is to add it to the HBD docs as well. I have tested on my box, but sure I need more feedbacks.

Basically needs nvm to get nodejs and npm.
Tthere is the user daemon and its using nvm-exec (way better than using the absolute nodejs path).
And set some values on the config based on installed clients.

Users would need to trick a lot on the config and will be asking a lot of help that is for sure... but I believe this can be a good start point.

Also I think it would not conflict with the other apps using nvm (thelounge, overseerr/jellyseer)

Any reason that we’re pushing latest node here instead of LTS?

I see in the documentation for cross-seed that it’s built to support node 20 or above, and since our other applications use LTS we could keep our dependencies smaller in the interest of saving users a bit of space. Otherwise looks good.

Hmm but its using the same --lts flag like the others scripts. Here its pulling 22.12

What you may strange at first sight is that v22 became lts recently (oct 2024) https://nodesource.com/blog/Node.js-v22-Long-Term-Support-LTS

What can be done is check if already have a node installed and use that instead of let nvm pull lts

I sent that last commit, nvm is smart to use any minor version available giving the major. I think it looks good, it can use 22, 20 or install a fresh lts (as today it would be 22.12)

But Im seeing a problem, the port 2468 is being used... (someone else in the box maybe bind 0.0.0.0 to it) I think it will need to randomize it.
