We finally decided on CentOS, which has a better balance between stability and distribution speed. The Claris community has increasingly requested the option to host FileMaker applications on Linux for several reasons: Linux is highly available and reliable, highly-configurable, and ideal for virtual machines and bare-metal deployments.Īt Claris, we had to consider the Linux distribution that would most closely match our client requirements and our objectives for FileMaker Server. Support of advanced security certificates.Stability and reliability improvements.
Importantly, whether you’re using Windows, Mac, or Linux, the latest release comes packed with improvements, including: Not only does this offering satisfy one of our top customer requests from Claris developers, IT pros, and server administrators, it also makes FileMaker Server deployments more affordable than ever. Now, as part of Claris’ open release of FileMaker 19, deploy FileMaker Server on CentOS Linux alongside Windows and Mac. In this 1:30 long video, we’ll see how easy it is to deploy a 100% free trial server on fmcloud.fm.Linux is here! We’re so excited that with the launch of Claris FileMaker Server 19.1.2, you can host your FileMaker apps on the world’s most popular open-source platform. And Claris has published a guide that anyone with a relatively basic knowledge of Linux can follow.īut first, you need to have installed Ubuntu 18 or 20 first, and second, deploying a single container on a physical machine, although it is already interesting (you can move it easily to another machine for instance), is not going to improve performance as on a real cloud like fmcloud.fm. So far, fmcloud.fm is the only FileMaker hosting service to run on docker, and it supports Claris Server, the server component of the new Claris Platform.īecause it’s so powerful, interest in docker is growing. It’s super fast, extremely affordable, amazingly flexible (deploy, update, downgrade, move… operations take a few seconds only), and it’s also environment friendly.
It is actually so good that the market for FileMaker Server Hosting will change when users learn about it. As Nick Lightbody outlined in an independent study, Docker is a game changer in the FileMaker / Claris deployment business.
