Asked by willrobinson
Whenever I spin up a new droplet, I always do the following: Install nginx (setting domain name, etc. in the config) Install php7.0-fpm Install mysql Create a mysql user for Wordpress Install Wordpress, configure it using the newly created MySQL user and set up caching, etc. Install WP-CLI and install several standard Wordpress plugins
Is there a quick way of automating most/all of the above when creating a new droplet other than cloning an existing droplet and modifying the configs manually?
Thanks
Will

Hello friend!
Actually we do have something for just that, which should make this a much faster process for you. Take a look at this page for more detailed information:

Now it will be important to remember that your server will be up and running before those items finish installing, so you might give it a few minutes and let it run through the steps before logging in to use it.
