Released: 4/12/2024

Download for Linux (opens in a new tab), Linux (arm) (opens in a new tab), Windows (opens in a new tab), Mac (opens in a new tab)

Minor Changes

Files can now be encrypted and decrypted from the FMS Admin databases tab. This feature is only available on servers running FMS 20.3 or later.
File backups can now be restored directly from the OttoFMS file manager.
OttoFMS now has the ability to only allow access to a list of IP addresses. This will only allow access to the OttoFMS api, console, and webhooks from the listed IP addresses or IP ranges. See the documentation for details on setting up a specific set of IPs or ranges of IPs.
Added OttoFMS app log at /otto/api/app-log. See docs for instructions on setting up the OttoFMS app log to use logging in your FileMaker solutions or other systems.
Added Slack notifications as an option to each sub-deployment. Notifications are sent when a sub-deployment starts, succeeds, fails, or crashes. See OttoFMS docs for details on setting up the slack integration.
Added the closeFilesAfterBuild option to the deployment input, allowing depoyment files to be closed after the build fetches fully rather than before. This should cut down on the file downtime if the build process takes a while.
Added the list deployments endpoint at /otto/api/deployments. This endpoint lists all deployments in the ottofms database. API Keys and passwords are encrypted in the response.
Added the /deployment/rerun endpoint, which can rerun or schedule a rerun of a deployment or sub-deployment with the initially input options. Also added the ability to rerun a deployment or sub-deployment from the OttoFMS console. This is available in the three dot menu on the deployments table or in the deployment details view.
Added a server preferences endpoint which returns the database folder preferences for the server. this endpoint is available at /otto/api/settings/serverPrefs.
Added the ability to abort an ongoing deployment from the OttoFMS console and from the api. This function will only abort the deployment if no files have been replaced with their new versions. Builds that were downloaded will be removed, just in time builds will be deleted from your source server if applicable.
A new api endpoint and options from the ui allow for undoing a deployment, including all of its sub-deployments. Previously only a single sub-deployment could be undone at a time.

Patch Changes

Builds now log to the build manifest.json as well as otto-info.log.
The build manifest now includes individual file sizes. The file sizes get added upon the backups of the file being complete.
A deployment failing before a build finishes downloading will now delete the build from the inbox.
Added a startedAt key to the build manifest which stores the time the build was started
The build log now displays in the deployment detail view on the build log tab.
Build status calls for just in time builds are more hardy to 502 errors from windows source servers.
Just in time builds will now be deleted before other builds when applying the "max builds to keep in outbox" setting.
Builds that are ongoing during the time of an OttoFMS crash will now be marked as crashed.
Partially downloaded builds will now be deleted when ottofms restarts.
Just in time builds now have a "jit_" prefix in the build id.
Added the ability to send messages to clients from the clients table in the fms admin tab
The clients table now has the ability to disconnect multiple clients at a time.
Added an option to immediately disconnect clients from the clients table.
Added an additional option when creating Data API keys via the OttoFMS API to not create duplicate keys. If the option is set to true, an existing data api key that uses the input credentials will be returned rather than creating a new key.
File Launch links can not be copied from the databases table.
A table with no deployments is now handled better in the deployments table.
Usage data now includes durations and total size of built or deployed files.
The Ottomatic backups folder in the file manager is now only created for Ottomatic servers.
Added crashed deployment events to the usage data.
Deployments and sub-deployments can now be renamed from the OttoFMS console after they have been run.
If deployment is longer than 1 hour, the hours spot will always be displayed for each log message. This ensures that the first number you see is always the hours spot rather than suddenly becoming the hours spot at the hour mark.
Files that are used in subsequent sub-deployments will not be opened at the end of a sub-deployment. For example, if you have 5 sub-deployments and a file is listed in your first and your last sub-deployment the file will be closed for the full duration of the deployment.
Added the option to view the full detailed log for a running deployment.
Users will now be redirected to the OttoFMS console if they are already logged in and go to the login page.
The get deployment endpoint now returns more information about the deployment.
Added the fms extended privelages column to the FMS admin databases table. This column is hidden by default and can be revealed in the top right of the table.
Added folder and subfolder to databases table in the fms admin tab. These columns are hidden by default but can be revealed in the menus in the top right. Full file path can be revealed by hovering over the folder field in the table.
The file manager no longer logs information about access to the otto-info.log. this can be reverted by setting the FILE_MANAGER_LOGGING environment variable to true.

Released: 3/13/2024

Download for Linux (opens in a new tab), Linux (arm) (opens in a new tab), Windows (opens in a new tab), Mac (opens in a new tab)

Patch Changes

deployment backups now create folders and delete folders based off of full deployments instead of sub-deployments. This change means that your "deployment backups to keep" setting will now reflect the number of full deployments rather than sub-deployments. This change is not compatible with previous deployment backups, so make sure any deployment reverts or other processes you need to do with your backups through OttoFMS are done before upgrading to this version
when in a deployment detail screen, the page title will now be the title of the deployment rather than the id.
updated log message for file unzipped to say that the file is unzipping, as the log gets written at the start of the file unzipping
the deployment logs csv now has formatted durations
Fixed an issue with FileManager uploads on ubuntu
ottofms will no longer fail to start if there are extra folders in the File Manager root directory.
the deployment log csv now has the file column properly populated
hardening OttoFMS against an issue with the FileMaker Server Admin API
errors in the deployment log now have a filename where applicable
fixed issue with searching and filtering in the logs on the web console
Attempt to avoid ECONNRESET error on windows when building
undoing a deployment will now only revert changes for files that have backups. installs will be ignored. previously attempting to undo an install would result in a failed deployment.
ottofms will now more gracefully handle errors caused by the FileMaker admin server restarting in the middle of a process.
removed duplicate logs for number of completed files
fixed an issue causing the entire file path to be written in the migration log on windows. now it will just write the filename

4.2.2

Released: 3/5/2024

Download for Linux (opens in a new tab), Linux (arm) (opens in a new tab), Windows (opens in a new tab), Mac (opens in a new tab)

Patch Changes

Fix register webhooks regression
Fixed an issue with Linux servers not being able to download builds over 1 GB. The download process should now be much faster on Linux machines.

4.2.1

Released: 3/1/2024

Download for Linux (opens in a new tab), Linux (arm) (opens in a new tab), Windows (opens in a new tab), Mac (opens in a new tab)

Patch Changes

fixed file not found error when running a deployment with the same source and destination server. Files in a local just in time build will no longer be zipped into an archive, they will just be moved from the outbox to the inbox as unzipped files.
added log message that just in time build has started on source server.
increased just in time build timeout from 10 minutes to 30 minutes
added a log message when a deployment crashes
fixed a bug in the duration cell for multi-stage deployments. The duration was not displaying or calculating correctly.

4.2.0

Released: 2/29/2024

Download for Linux (opens in a new tab), Linux (arm) (opens in a new tab), Windows (opens in a new tab), Mac (opens in a new tab)

Minor Changes

the create build api now has a memLevel option which can help manage the memory usage of the zipping process. by default it is set to 1, which is the least memory usage. See OttoFMS api docs for allowed values.
completedFiles key added to the build manifest stored in the outbox. this value will be incremented with each file fully zipped during the build so we can track progress better.
zipSize key added to the build manifest. This value will be set upon build completion with the size of the .build.zip in bytes.
added concurrency to the OttoFMS api as a sub-deployment level setting. The concurrency setting manages how many files will be installed or migrated simultaneously.

Patch Changes

uninstalling OttoFMS on windows will now fully remove all IIS routing rules put in place by the installer
improved logging for delete build and get build status endpoints
we are now making even fewer calls to the admin api where possible
added link to the webhooks guide from the error if your database is not properly set up to recieve webhooks
timers for running deployment will now update based on deployment start time rather than most recent log message, making them more accurate in the ui.
Builds will now delete each file from the outbox folder after they are successfully zipped into the .build.zip file. This should dramatically reduce folder size in the outbox.
OttoFMS now only logs that remaining deployments will be aborted (when using the abort remaining option) if there are remaining deployments to abort
added an ongoing duration to the running deployment screen
added better error handling within the build status endpoint
updated the formatting of deployment times in the deployment table, deployment details view, and the dashboard
added more logs to the zip creation process
the manifest.json inside of the .build.zip file will now have a status of "zipping" instead of "started". This value is not updated to "completed" since we update the manifest to "completed" after the zip is complete.
we now only log that we are removing builds from the inbox at the end of a deployment if there are builds to remove
changed the default compression level of build zips from -1 to 0 (this will apply very little compression to the zips by default, increasing file size and decreasing zip time). This should increase fetch time and decrease zip time. The compression level can be changed in the api, and it will be added to OttoDeployin the future.
Fixed an issue that caused OttoFMS to check the wrong disk for available space before starting deployments
zips created by ottofms will no longer have errors when unzipped with services like 7zip
fixed issue where the copied webhook url would include the masked api key rather than the full api key.
added more logging to the fetching phase of deployments so you can see progress as the deployment runs.
added server operating system to collected usage data. This will help us target specific operating systems which are having more trouble running processes on OttoFMS
Add error handling and logging for file download

clients can now be disconnected from the client table on the filemaker server tab
if doing a deployment with the same source and destination server, the build will be run locally rather than creating a http request to run the build
deployments running with the same source and destination server will now copy builds from the outbox to the inbox rather than make a http request for them
