Pretty sure this is impossible for free.
Why not to use bash scripts? This way you be able to run installations and copy all setting files as you required or from settings template.
If you go with Digital Ocean, they let you take “snapshots” of your machine in its initial state. Some other providers may have a similar feature.
he asked for the best, snapshots are nice if you work on a dev system, but on a prod system it's not really an option to use snapshots for backup purpose.
Depends on if the provider lets you boot custom ISO's or not, if they do something like VEEAM agent can image the entire thing when it's running although it needs an SMB share to write the image to.
For packages it depends on the machine and if it's a one off or not, for my generic set of base packages I like to have on pretty much everything I have an ansible playbook to install them.
rsync. Maybe rdiff-backup instead. Automysql-backup can come in handy too...
How about this ?
