Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB

Robblehead

@JaredBusch You have made fire! https://rockloveaustin.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/castaway.gif

@Robblehead You will want to properly get that DNS entry in your router or something so that all your devices work.

Editing your hosts file should only be a quick workaround that is used temporarily.

Robblehead

@JaredBusch One last question, this is a test environment. When I move into production it will have a new IP address which shouldn't be a big deal but I am wondering if I will have to modify host file of every system that will be using snipe?

Robblehead

@JaredBusch answered my question for me. The production environment is running a sonicwall so I am pretty sure I can handle that side with Dell's help. (I know it's capable)

Don't modify the local host file, use a proper DNS entry on your router (or DNS server if you have one)

I already answered that as he posted in his next post.

Your problem is you will not be able to use DNS like you need because of this.

@Robblehead said in Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB:

@DustinB3403 my router is pushing OpenDNS to all devices, would this be part of the issue? My laptop maybe not using same DNS?

You have no local DNS. So you are going to have to change your entire network or be stuck changing the hosts file on every single device that needs to use Snipe-IT.

You should never be pushing out a non local DNS source to your machines.

If you want to use OpenDNS, then you set your router to use OpenDNS and then you set your clients to use your router.

scottalanmiller

Jared is correct, even if it is only a cache (effectively) you want a local DNS server in all cases, even at home.

Amit Shrestha

@Robblehead
Your fqdn should be like snipeit.abc.new
in your router or host file write a custom dns as
192.168.1.10 snipeit.abc.new
Now from your browser http://snipeit.abc.new
it will work.

Amit Shrestha

@brandon.hay
ignore this error,go to your browser http://your fqdn
and complete the remaining process via snipeit
it will work.
Tested.

@Amit-Shrestha thanks for hopping in.

Just trying this myself again and i'm getting the below error after running

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 && cd snipeit; sed -i "s/'timezone' => '',/'timezone' => 'UTC',/" app/config/app.php; php artisan app:install



  [Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\CommandNotFoundException]
  Command "app:install" is not defined.
  Did you mean one of these?
   migrate:install
   app:name

The snipeit.sh file was updated recently.

I attempted to install via the install.sh script and it got most of the way through without error. Then, toward the end of the script, I get this:

You can also run php --ini inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

If you want mail capabilities, edit /var/www/html/snipeit/.env and edit based on .env.example

Open http://monitor.alaska.lan to login to Snipe-IT.

So, in short, it appears that the script relies on PHP being at a version higher than the one that ships with CentOS 7.3. Has anyone found a way around this yet? I've seen a few different HOWTO's where it's mentioned to install the remi or webtatic repo's to get the higher versions of PHP, but composer continues to complain. Thankfully, this was a VM and I was able to create a snapshot before making changes from the baseline.

The script installs the correct version of PHP. It adds the IUS repo specifically for that.

@JaredBusch Apparently mine did not do this step.

@JaredBusch I find it interesting that my installer did in fact install those two repositories, but still fails. What might I need to do to get this to work?

Just spun up a VM. let me try the script.
