Release Notes: OTRS Appliance 1.0 Beta1

Post by jojo »

Dear community members,

as we are constantly working on making OTRS more accessible and easier to install, we are very proud to announce the first beta release of the OTRS Appliance today.

Enjoy the following features:

- Includes all necessary components (operating system, database, webserver, etc.)
- Download OTRS as an ISO image, burn it on a CD-ROM and boot your system from the CD to install OTRS on a native hardware
- Can be installed as a virtual machine based on the virtualization software "Oracle VM VirtualBox", or on virtualization software solutions provided by other vendors,

Enjoy:

- Easy testing of new OTRS versions
- Easy Updates with the OTRS Appliance Manager


For further instructions how to install OTRS Appliance as a virtual machine, please read our

I must say this is a very easy install version of OTRS.
I also tested the creation of an backup and restored that also and the system was up and running with the known useraccounts.
So when reinstalling the system is needed, for now no problem.
I do have a question though, is it possible to transfer my current database version OTRS 3.2.9 to this appliance?

Hi,

I like the Aplliance, too. :)
I think it should be possible to use an existing database, once you configure it correctly in Config.pm.
I don't have it running for now, so I can not test.

Well that will be a problem for me on how to solve this.
But, I found a site: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Converting ... PostgreSQL
But this is a ver complex issue, is it possible to use MySQL instead of PostresSQL of make a choice when installing?
I would like to switch to this release when it is final, but don't want to start all over again.

Thank you

Thank you so much for the news team! I was shocked last night when I read the news in the OTRS portal...did not see it coming.

Great job, congratulations and thank you so much for your invaluable support.
