The fotoobo documentation

This is fotoobo, the mighty Fortinet toolbox for managing your Fortinet environment. The tool consists of several useful utilities with functionality which is not covered by the standard Fortinet management suite. It is meant to be extendable to your needs. So feel free to add or update the utilities as needed but please be aware that there are some guidelines on how to contribute to the development.

For a more detailed introduction to what fotoobo is, read chapter 1 of the architecture documentation: 1. Introduction and Goals.

License

fotoobo is licensed under the LGPL v3.

Since it is a python application which does not compile to a binary before distribution, we want to clarify the following:

• fotoobo may be used as an imported module under the same terms that the LGPL states for dynamically linked (binary) libraries. So you may use fotoobo (unmodified) with code under another license (free or commercial).

• All changes to the fotoobo code itself are subject to the LGPL v3.

Built with

• Python

• Poetry

• Typer
