“Q. And what happens if you download a new version, will it have your EK in it? or does it carry over from ‘my’ version?”
A. For the OttoUpdate feature to work properly you will have to enter your Encryption Key, user name and paswords for OttoDeploy. OttoFMS will then use that information to upgrade your copy in place.
This is one of the key new features we are enabling. We want to make it possible for anyone to make an app that can be Auto Updatable on a server running OttoFMS. This is the first version of it. But at the heart of is a new concept we call Builds and Public Builds. With builds you can already sort of do it. But we are going to make it even easier.
One of which is, download a clone, do some work on it locally (while travelling, say) on laptop, be able to upload it back and deploy in one smooth action…
