Hi everyone, I have created a open source project for a tool I used to configure my VPS a (Linode). Old colleague of mine has used it on his VPS (Digital Ocean) and said there were no problems. My question is, does anyone know of another way of doing this, is this a sensible set up etc. I made this project to save me the endless reconfiguring of my test environment after destroying it. This tool is free and I posted here on Codeproject a request for testers, Collaboration / Beta Testing under section "Looking for testers for automated Linux server install and config." Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou and looking forward to your comments.

Hi I have written software to install and configure a CentOS 7 server automaticly. After running the script you end up with a functioning LAMP server at the minimum. You can include other modules to configure the server even more ie (HTTPD/POSTFIX/DOVECOT/BIND) etc. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvayUpUAzLI Github: https://github.com/unodan/slingshot Site: http://www.dyncomp.net/ If you would like to get involved with this project please email me.

Slingshot is a script to automate the installation and configuration of Linux software packages and uses a template/messaging system. Slingshot was designed to be extended by simply adding new modules. Module scripts are added to a run queue and executed in (FIFO) order. You can create/add your own modules that customize package installation and/or configurations. The use of modules allow you to extend or modify the system setup in ways to suit your particular needs.
