Bare metal install with FAI (after getting used to it, it is really quiet fast and adjustable) after initial reboot config management is handed over to salt with a highstate (i.e. Full config run) on boot-up. Source: about 2 years ago

Not exactly an answer to your question but I’ve used FAI (https://fai-project.org) to just make dynamic images. The scripting is a bitch and the entire process is annoying, but you have control over every step of the install, the final product is an image you can install even over NetBoot and fully automatic.

I recently came across SlickStrack, which is a utility for setting up WordPress on Ubuntu LTS. It sets it up with Nginx and some other configs, by which it attempts to enforce some best practices with regards to speed and security. Source: over 2 years ago

Just start from scratch, that will give you more practice, install your ssh, and then run a script from https://slickstack.io/. Source: over 2 years ago
