I have three servers Dev Staging and Production, I have ottodeploy.fmp12 on all three, does it matter which one I use when doing setting up and doing the deployments. Can I use the one on Dev to Deploy from Dev to Staging, Staging to Production then pull a full copy back for Production to Dev?
Hey John,
The only reason it would matter is if you have a server is unreachable from the outside. ie. if your production server is on a limited network and OttoDeploy needs to be on the server to communicate with it. Other than that there is no reason to have it on a specific server. If OttoDeploy can communicate with the servers it can be put on any of the servers (or a different server/locally). All of the processing done during a deployment takes place on the destination server OttoFMS.

Awesome, thanks Kyle
I tend to have 2 versions one on dev and one on production the dev one I use to reseed dev or test and then push to test. The one on Production I use for the final push to production, typically because this one has the slack alerts, setup.
For me it’s the head space so I don’t accidentally attempt a migration to production in the middle of the work day.
