slickstack
Automate a WordPress server stack using Nginx and a Bash-based LEMP setup script.
About slickstack
SlickStack is a free Bash script that automates WordPress provisioning on an Nginx-based LEMP stack. It runs on supported Ubuntu LTS releases without external provisioning dependencies such as Python or Docker, and uses scheduled cron jobs connected to its GitHub repository plus bundled scripts in /var/www for management.
It is designed for one primary domain on a KVM cloud server with at least 1GB of RAM, and is HTTPS-only with HSTS enabled by default. It does not support multiple domains on one server, plain HTTP sites, server clustering, or load balancing, and has no built-in interface.
