OTRS ITSM Virtual Appliance

Post by snuffy »

Is there a current VMware virtual appliance for OTRS ITSM? I would like to evaluate it/run it on a small network, but do not want the initial hastle of installing it. I have basic linux experience, and can follow guides if detailed enough.

If there is, a point in the right direction would be great. I have found and tried the "Turnkey linux" VM, however this is version 2, not 3. Is the upgrade to V3/install of ITSM easy to complete?

Kind regards,
Tim

No.

In my opinion, part of getting to know this software is the installation. Also, in my opinion, unless you're going for a hosted install, the difference between downloading a virtual environment and installing a package should be inconsequential.
OTRS 6.0.x (private/testing/public) on Linux with MySQL database.

Thanks Jojo, the On Demand option was quite simple to sign up to, no credit cards or anything. The intro videos ware also very useful. I wish there were more of them.

I have been evaluating for several hours. I don't think there's an ITSM version available to test though, unless I'm missing it?

Kind regards,
Tim.
