Good idea, but I don't think it's good to teach habits like "SSH into root, and get my script" or inputting random commands if you don't understand what they do. Something in this long, technical sequence of steps could contain malware.

Further to this - even if the script doesn't contain malware and you're 100% happy to run with this persons' defaults, you probably still shouldn't, as it doesn't teach you what you're actually doing.

Presuming you're a relatively non-technical person who follows this verbatim, what happens when this page goes down? Or Vultr is no longer an option? Do you even really know what you've set up?
