I'm no expert, but I believe this is not possible per se. However: When you wrote "setup an AppVM and configure it" do you meant doing the configuration on the terminal command line as a sequence of shell commands? If so then keep a full record of all those configuration commands using the shell history command: history > log_of_my_personal_configuration_actions I recommend to first set the following variables in your $HOME/.bashrc files: export HISTSIZE=100000 export HISTFILESIZE=200000 export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T " The default values of HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE are small so chances are you could loose something otherwise. This will help later on if you want to review all of your own configuration actions and when you did what. If you configure something by editing certain configuration files I would recommend to make copies of the original files first to be able to produce .patch files using the command: diff -u some_configfile.orig some_configfile > some_configfile.patch Those could also be useful later. I hope this helps to get you somewhat started. Turning those history log and .patch files into a set of SALT configuration files is however completely another story.
