Getting Started with OttoFMS

Otto FMS all looks very cool but I don’t really know how to get started. If I did all my development for all my clients on my local very beefy Win 2022 FMS would I then have to install OTTO FMS on all my client servers as well so I could deploy to them?

Hi Mark,

Yes that is correct.

Putting OttoFMS on all your servers is step 1. OttoFMS is the automation engine that does all the work of copying, cloning, moving, migrating, and installing files, on servers and in between servers.

An important note. All of the servers in question need to have SSL certificates installed and need to be able to connect to one another over the internet.

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I aware of the SSL requirement which I understand but it’s going to really slow me down on my my on prem servers since I don’t run any certs on them. I also don’t think my cloud server meet your processor or ram requirements either so those are probably out and my biggest customer’s on prem server can’t reach the internet so my ability to run otto as much as would like is going to be limited unfortuately. Of course it looks great like all your stuff I just have to decide how I want to proceed and when I am going to find the time to do it!
