Description

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to allow to migrate some recipes between different server instances using some sort of an exchange file. That means, a file is generated from a certain set of recipes. On the destination machine, the file can be read and imported into the cookbook and thus a manual sync/archival was possible.

Rough idea: Create a ZIP file from all recipes.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Possible reference to #2309 as federation might be an alternative to exchanging the packed content in the background and continuously keeping sync between these.

Research direction

Review the requested recipe-set exchange workflow and the related federation discussion in #2309 before choosing an implementation path. Done should include generating an exchange file from selected recipes and importing it into another cookbook server, with the scope and format agreed first.
