What basic services are you missing in the charm store?

I know I had issues setting up gitlab and Redmine. 

I ended up having to docker containers and opening the ports. 

Maybe a startup bundle of sorts? 
Everything just works OOTB. 

Source code repo, blog/front end website, continuous integration, and bug tracking. 

Just my thoughts
