TL;DR: https://www.packer.io/
Travis gave a fantastic reply to my tale of disconnectivity. I am going to dive in to Packer for a few units of time, and then try to restore connectivity to my old VM, and then try to finish installing site on my new VM, and then try to do the update I wanted to do yesterday morning!

Okay, let’s install Packer! Yay! We can do so with brew. But first let’s get brew up to date.

Anyway, I intended to do both; I just did not think it would take so
long.. nearly all the time units available for Packer!

Okay, back to installing Packer.
brew install packer

Haha I just read they consider this an ‘alternative’ installation method. I could have just downloaed a binary.

Getting Started on Packer’s
site, but did not do more than create a few neural connections in my
brain. Nothing on my computer except ~/
