Our plan is to write a Powershell-script that will check for a new version of OTTO on a weekly basis.
If found the script installs the new version.
Will there be prompts to restart anything on the server? Windows, the FileMaker-Server, anything? Or prompts to install dependencies (Dot.Net)?
Thanks for this great software.
Hey Stephan,
It should not require a restart when you install a new version of OttoFMS and all of the dependancies are installed with the installer, so it will not prompt you to install anything additional.
If you want to check for new versions, there is an API at https://console.ottomatic.cloud/downloads/ottofms/versions which will return a version JSON object. The “latestVersion” field is the latest published version which is stable for release. You can compare that to your installed version to determine if you need to do an update (this is how we display the “update available” badge in OttoFMS). Then you can either use the powershell command for install, which will isntall the latest version, or you can rip what you need out of the script that powershell command downloads.
Thanks!

Thanks for your swift reply!
So we can just let the update progress and everything else running. That’s one aspect less to consider.
