At the same time, for those who think it’ll be a cakewalk, ’ll probably be harder than you think. For those who are afraid to touch Linux because they’ve heard that it is difficult, it really isn’t that bad. There is also a learning curve when switching to Linux from Windows.
You can check out his publicly available project here on Github. Mark DeNyse over at Driftwood Interactive has developed a translation tool that allows you to convert a website from CWP to the Data API with minimal effort. This could be a deal-breaker for some, but there is actually a (mostly) pain-free way to go about this. If you are currently using a large Custom Web Publishing solution then you’ll need to switch over to the Data API for your website needs. So what’s the catch? Well, there are a few things that might hold some back from jumping on board.Ĭustom Web Publishing is not supported-however, FM Data API, OData API, and Web Direct are still supported Even the overhead of having a desktop GUI is done away with. Lastly, the lower OS overhead for CentOS over Windows Server means that the server will be more performant and stable. If that was not enough, Linux tends to have better security, especially since less malware is written for Linux devices. This is true whether you are hosting your solutions with some sort of hosting provider or if you have a server on-premise.
The savings from Windows licensing costs can be quite substantial. There is no licensing cost for CentOS which makes it a tantalizing prospect since the only cost for running it will be the hosting cost and the FMS license costs no more paying for that pricy Windows Server licensing. Linux offers several advantages over Windows. In this article, we will explore what makes FMS on Linux unique, and what strengths and weaknesses it might have compared to Windows Server. They explain their choice of CentOS to be due to the “stability, reliability, and predictability” that this OS offers. But now, the power and stability of Linux for FMS has been given to the masses.Ĭlaris has chosen the CentOS distribution of Linux which is essentially an open-source version of Redhat Enterprise Linux. They have been using it since 2016 to host their FileMaker for AWS deployments as well as the newer FileMaker Cloud. Venturing into the world of Linux is not something new to Claris. For any Linux enthusiasts like myself, this news could not be more welcome. The year 2020 was certainly full of the unexpected: Covid-19, social distancing, and.FileMaker Server for Linux.? In an exciting move, Claris announced to the FileMaker community that their release of FMS 19.1.2 would now be available for Linux in addition to the normal Windows and Mac versions.
