I am trying to work on a project where i am supposed to install softwares and packages on one system and it should replicate on other systems connected on LAN. How can i proceed with this? I was thinking of creating a server with local ppa repository with all packages to be included. Can this be done? Or is there a better way to do this?

Here is what I would do:

Create a launchpad account.

Sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.

Make a PPA.

Write a metapackage that depends on all the packages you want to install. Every time you install a package, update the PPA.

You can learn how to write a metapackage here.

Add the PPA to all computers you want to update.

Run:

sudo apt-get install yourmetapackage 

When you change the PPA:

sudo apt-get upgrade
