What scripts would you like to see by default on setting up a VPS ?

Hi Folks,
We are planning to setup ready-to-go OS templates when a user signs up for a VPS. This will include scripts / software line Apache, Nginx, MongoDB, meanstack etc.. setup by default.
As a developer or a geek, what other scripts or software would you like to have installed by default when you immediately setup your VPS ?
Best,
ServerGigs
p.s. mods, please mode to topic to the right category if 'general' is in-appropriate.

nginx+php5-fpm+mariadb
A module in the Solus panel to import ssh public keys to the VPS on each reinstall, and to disable ssh root password based access.
Great suggestion. Will try to incorporate in our system.
Also, a basic template with just denyhosts, unattended-upgrades, nano and htop would prevent most of the initial apt-gets.
preinstalled unattended-upgrades might prevent a lot of server breaches...
This can be done at template level. Try asking on the OVZ forums for this one.
If you're installing services by default, set up the firewall accordingly. That will also help reduce the vectors for server breaches.

Updated daily, there is a couple of debian ones on there with what you are after but with Hiawatha, surely can ask @Joodle to do a Nginx one if necessary
We do a hardening process by default once VPS is created with us.
Cool. Good to know.
Completely untouched Debian template.
No need.
