Instead of running Gentoo with VirtualBox and backing up the image, I'd |
| 12 |
recommend storing your configurations in a git repo and using ansible[1] |
| 13 |
or salt[2] to deploy them when you need to. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Also, if you ever expand to more than 1 server, these tools make even |
| 16 |
more sense. I use salt for my personal setup, which is 1 server and 1 |
| 17 |
laptop (I have 2-3 more servers that I need to get set up someday...), |
| 18 |
but salt is simpler and no less powerful. |

Hope this helps, |
