Migration from 4.4
With BlueSpice 4.5 there were important changes to the container portfolio:
- There are no "all-in-one" containers anymore. Neither for FREE, not for PRO and FARM editions
- The "distributed-services" setup for PRO and FARM edition has been reworked
Overview
The BlueSpice application consists of a number of different services. To ease installations, they are available as a pre-configured stack at github.com/hallowelt/bluespice-deploy, but they also allow more flexibility, e.g. by providing a simple way to run several services on different machines or to re-use existing services.
