If you're going that route, why not just create a disk image and scp it from your server? Certainly a lot easier than trying to rebuild everything from scratch.

actually I'd find running my ansible playbook much, much easier than transferring GB of disk image about. I maintain the playbook so that I can keep work laptop and personal laptop in sync. Although I am looking at Nixos as a possible replacement.

An ansible playbook gives you much more flexibility to get to the same place. The one I run takes a mere 3-5 minutes to run (typically) regardless of where I am in the world.
