How to make a Linux image with software and deploy it to another server?

Question

linux

Good day everyone. Can you please tell me how to make a certain image of the server, so that later it can be deployed on another machine? There is a management site in PHP + MySQL. Runs on Linux + Ubuntu 18. The company provides the ability to create the same software on your machine. By installing all the necessary Ubuntu packages: php, mysql, unzip and so on.

The point is that the client downloads this image, runs the command, and the software is up in the same environment, with minimal data in the database. Of course, it would be nice to use docker + fixtures, but the client server will have minimum requirements on a VPS as well. Docker won't work there.

What other ways are there to run a copy of the software with the same settings and data in the database without docker and vargant?
