SlickStack
SlickStack is a FOSS (free and open source) project written in Bash that makes launching LEMP stack servers fun and easy. The main focus is PHP-based CMS apps, with special attention to WordPress. Along with being very easy to manage, SlickStack also achieves lightning-fast loading speeds and market-leading technical SEO so that small businesses can compete directly with larger players (and often outperform them). The script is continually updated and maintained, and bundles several free MU (Must-Use) plugins from LittleBizzy (optional) including a community "plugin blacklist".
