Core Modules

For the purposes of SlickStack we use the term “modules” loosely, referring to any major Ubuntu package or installed feature (e.g. WordPress). Below are the current list of Core Modules that we consider SlickStack to support, in alphabetical order:

• Certbot (Lets Encrypt client)
• ClamAV (antivirus)
• CloudFlare (CDN and SSL proxy)
• Git (version control)
• MySQL (database)
• Nginx (server)
  • FastCGI Cache (page cache)
  • Lets Encrypt (CA-signed SSL cert)
  • OpenSSL (self-signed SSL cert)
• PHP-FPM
  • OPcache (PHP opcode cache)
• Redis (persistent object cache)
• Ubuntu LTS
  • UFW Firewall
• WordPress
  • MU Plugins
  • Starter Themes
  • Throwaway Themes
  • WP-CLI

A few of these modules/features are optional or can be modified by adjusting ss-config settings (click to learn about each one).
