Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB

@dustinb3403 I'm able to get a single group to import via LDAP but I can't restrict login to ONLY that group.
We have several thousand users, badly organized, so disabling them after a full import would be a pain.
Ideally I'm looking to import a specific group via LDAP, which works at the moment, and then ONLY allow that group to login, which doesn't work. Anyone from the base DN can also login. I could turn off LDAP integration after doing the initial sync I guess but that means the passwords won't match after they change their AD ones.
I feel like this SHOULD be possible but I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious again in the settings.
That makes a lot more sense. I'm not aware of any functionality or limits with LDAP, because I've not used it. I'd recommend jumping onto their Gitter page and speak with the developers directly.

Ok, so I am thinking about giving this a go for our environment. We don't track software licenses, but do track physical inventory (computers, laptops, projectors etc).
I assume I can import my current inventory into Snipe-IT via a CSV process? Can I also export to CSV?

Export from what, SnipeIT?

Yes, sorry. I meant export from Snipe-IT. We do this in order to comparisons and updates to some things in inventory, helps us locate devices that need to be updated and/or added.
EG - Export all Ipad 4s. Change some fields (location, assigned user etc) then re-import to update the records. This is very usefule when re-assigning iPads from classrooms onto iPad carts, or moving hundreds from one campus to another.

I'm not seeing an export functionality from what I have installed, but you can create reports with those details. And then subsequently upload that over your database.
-
Speaking of iPads etc, how are you managing them. Are you using an MDM, apple configurator?
Some combination?
-
Jamf's Casper Suite and DEP. So MDM.
Configurator is not really a management tool, it's a setup tool to get the iPads into the MDM reasonably quickly and with minimal interaction on each device.

I'm glad to go over it with you in detail via email or PM if you like.

Not at the moment, cause I'm tired and need a beer lol. So won't really be paying attention.
Remind me tomorrow maybe.

Hi,
this guide no longer works on latest Centos
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
I am starting to think that those install helper scripts from dev do more damage than good, and manual way are longer but better:

the script will actually report to you that it is finished installing successfully and you can browse to to your site, and it never works. so no real error was displayed. I reran everything a couple of times, same result.
I dont want you to test or re-write anything, its their installer script and they changed it. Either that or I screwed something up but I sticked to the defaults.
If you ask me installer scripts are nice and all, but they distance you from understanding the whole process, the guide I listed is not very accurate, for instance he actually use this command:
systemctl enable start httpd
but it will make you understand the whole process and troubleshoot it better. -

but it will make you understand the whole process and troubleshoot it better.You are not supposed to know how to install this from scratch. The developers supported method is to run the install.sh.
If you do it any other way, then you need to accept that if it fails, it is your problem.
This worked on 7.3 a couple months ago when I submitted the pull request to change it to use git on CentOS 7.
I can test again later this week.

I haven't upgraded yet. But I did my initial install using option 1(git clone).
There is a detail documentation for upgrading.

I upgraded yesterday and it was a bit of a bitch to get done.

This is roughly what I had to do (with the help of @tiagom and Hinsk from Gitter)
cd /var/www/html/snipeit/
git pull
nano composer.jsonEdit :
"doctrine/inflector": "1.2.*"to be"doctrine/inflector": "1.1.*"save the file
remove these files
rm bootstrap/cache/config.phprm bootstrap/cache/services.phpandrm bootstrap/cache/compiled.phpcomposer dumpphp artisan cache:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan config:cleargit pullphp composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
php composer.phar dump-autoloadnano .env
adding
APP_LOCALE=enandLEGACY_APP_KEY=<duplicate_APP_KEY_valuephp artisan migrateReboot and the site should work.
-
Of course - create a backup first!
It took us a few times in getting this process sorted out as there is an issue from the master branch and develop branch.

Having issues upgrading.
One issue I have is can't remember the original install method but I think I used the install.sh method from 1st post.so I've cd into /var/www/html/snipeit
git pullthat seems to bring new files down
vi composer.jsonlooked at the file and doctrine/inflector": "1.2." is already set to 1.1.rm bootstrap/cache/config.phpsays there is no file ???composer dumpgives mecomposer: command not foundCould I backup the DB do a fresh install the restore? or has the structure changed in the DB???
