Let me recommend you Headwind MDM - an open source Mobile Device Management system. The software is easily installed on Ubuntu Linux and Android devices. Its primary purpose is remote installation and update of mobile apps, as well as management of mobile devices.
Headwind MDM is an extensible platform which could be adapted to fit every company’s needs.
The software is used and highly rated by the users in such industries as retail, wholesale, logistics, and more.
The project is cross-platform, and we have users who’s using the software on CentOS. As far as I know, the only thing they must do is to adjust the Tomcat directory in the installer script. So I may definitely say that Headwind MDM supports CentOS (we’ll add a question and answer about CentOS soon!)
H-MDM seems a nice product, and I understand that the company behind it needs to make money some way. But the limit of 3 clients(*) for the ‘open source’ version is very poor and practically unusable: I myself already own 3 mobile devices (2 smartphones and a tablet), so I can’t even ‘manage’ the devices for my family with it…
Or did I misunderstood the limitation for the opensource version? @h-mdm
Another restriction model would be better… Like: free for non commercial use…
If I had a company that was depending on smartphone communication, it would be a no-brainer to spend EUR20,- per phone per year… but for private use costs can be rather steep.
I missed that completely. You were on the right direction, from the screenshot it seems just php extensions are missing. Do you still have this test machine?
You may install the extensions (depending on your PHP version) like this:
the unfortunate thing in the modern world today, is that we have so many per(something) per month.
either per user, per month, per device per month, per…
and these are all even becoming accounting nightmare.
There are no limitations of the open source version if you’re installing it onto your own server. However, the cloud-based demo is limited. You can contact the company and ask for more trial clients.
When you’re installing the open source on your server, the amount of devices is not limited (of course it can’t be limited as the software the open source and anybody can remove such a limit by a little tweaking of the code). But free version doesn’t include some functions of the full version (like kiosk mode, blocking unwanted apps, etc.), they are only available for demo on the h-mdm server.
