@hobbit666 You can use either way, they both accomplish the same thing that is downloading the newest source files.

Step 1: Backup your database
While logged in, go to Admin > Backups and generate a new backup. Download that file and keep it somewhere safe, in case you need to restore back to that version if something goes wrong with your upgrade.

Thanks Romo will give it a try Monday/Tuesday

Thx for mentioning Snipe-IT, @scottalanmiller. Didn't follow your instructions, because the install script provided by Snipe worked like a charm.

The tool is great, I'm just missing a few things. For example

Licenses should be treated the same way as assets (Create a "template", create instances of that template).
Assets can't be checked out to other assets (Notebook docking station -> Notebook).
Components (or Accessories?) can't have vendors, which is a bit odd.
Components must have a minimum of 1 unused item or they will generate an alert otherwise. No I don't want to have 1 spare part of every little gadget
Does not handle floating licenses.
Licenses can't be upgraded (but you can assign two versions of the same software to the same machine / user which works just fine)
You can't modify software checkout dates via the GUI

But all in all, it's great. Simplifies tracking of assets and licenses.

It's been a bit, they've changed a lot because their old script didn't install at all, hence these instructions. Which script did you use?

@scottalanmiller Script used - yum -y install wget firewalld; setenforce 0 && yum -y install epel-release; mkdir -p /var/www/html; cd /var/www/html/; wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh && chmod 744 install.sh && ./install.sh && cd snipeit; sed -i "s/'timezone' => '',/'timezone' => 'UTC',/" app/config/app.php; php artisan app:install; firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent; firewall-cmd --reloadrpm

Will take a look on Tuesday. But it was the one provided in the github package.

Just use the following and it will take you to a working install of Snipe-IT

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
chmod 744 install.sh
./install.sh

Big changes from how it was before. Glad to see that they've made so much progress.

The install script works great. The stuff the tripped me up I submitted a PR to correct.

Im still transitioning over, i currently have about 30% of my assets in there.

so thankful I ran across this article, much more helpful then the snipe-it documentation. I am trying to do the CentOS 7 install method and have tried the single line Scott showed and the wget line that was confirmed working. Everything installs fine but when I enter the IP address/hostname nothing loads, I then open up the firewall to port 80 and the IP address will redirect to the hostname/setup but I receive a "This site can't be reached" I have literally spent 4 hours trying different things with no luck, the server DNS address could not be found is what I am seeing now.
Please help!!! lol

@Robblehead Hi,
Please try this one...

setenforce 0
mkdir -p /var/www/html; cd /var/www/html/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
chmod 744 install.sh
./install.sh

scottalanmiller

Robblehead

rejivincentc
