Hi
i have not tested it. and i see no one replied yet - so i'll just share my approach to the task
I think that to be more version and platform compatible friendly, allow changes & re-deploy later in time and to document better the environment . woulden't it be much nicer to just have a file with all the commands required for the configurations? i was thinking shell commands. but if you already have the configuration you can use scripts to export and re-import certain configuration. here's a good examples:

If you want to go one step further. (and i didin't try it) configuration management such ansible do it in more structured way and can maybe help you manage the rest of your environment (servers, computers) to be consistent. i think also on personal level - experience with Ansible is a big requirements today in the job market.
