Testing SnipeIT on Fedora
-
@eddiejennings Fedora Custom Operating System and Minimal installs the same amount of packages. The only difference I noticed is the kernel version.

@eddiejennings This is how you install minimal
https://mangolassi.it/topic/13498/how-to-install-fedora-25-minimal/
The software selection options are quite different for the Fedora 26 installer I'm using (such as no mention of a Minimal Install), but it seems that choosing the Fedora Custom Operating System with no addons achieves "minimal."
My SnipeIT install failed the first time. About to try it again with the aforementioned minimal.
You must have started form the DVD install and not the netinstall media.
I did. I ought to have followed my hunch that said netinstall media = minimal.
Netinstall = less than minimal. It has to download all the packages.
/sigh Attention-to-detail fail. I just reread your minimal install of Fedora 25 thread again and somehow missed the first sentence
I'll give it (and SnipeIT) a go tomorrow after work and concert.

Works for me!
-
Made a new pull request to their dev branch and it is already merged in.
So next time they push to master it will officially support Fedora.
-
That pull request went live, so Snipe will now install on Fedora.
Someone else also added a bit to open the firewall for HTTP to the CentOS 7 section, so I just made a new pull request to turn that into a subroutine and called it from both the CentOS 7 and Fedora sections.

If you’re running KVM, virt-builder has a very minimal image and it already has the serial redirect in GRUB so you can just do virsh console vs using a VNC or SPICE client.

Is this still the method of getting snipe on Fedora?
How would you do upgrades when new releases come out?

Yes. It is in the native repository now. So follow the official instructions, do not use my github.
@hobbit666 said in Testing SnipeIT on Fedora:

If you are on a new/current version you use
sudo -u apache php /var/www/html/snipeit/upgrade.php -
I ran the install.sh script on Fedora 28 minimal install.
As far as I know, that takes care of all dependencies, prerequisites, including cloning the SnipeIT git repository and .env configurations.
After install, browsing to the page results in blank white page.
For troubleshooting purposes, i put SELinux in permissive state and gave the whole /var/www/html/snipeit directory 0777 permissions, just to rule out SELinux and permissions.
What else could it be?
-
I think I've got it down now to install a clean setup.
Just waiting to get my Hyper-V server running to do a production VM.Once I do I'll post the steps I did. Might not be the best method but it works
well seems to. -
What I didn't do is install Fedora 28, then immediately run the install script before doing anything else. I'll try that in the meantime. This time I'll be taking a checkpoint of the VM pre-install so I can keep trying.
I'd really like to get this going because it'll save a lot of time having this over using our other system.
If I can get it going in the next few hours that'd be great, otherwise, I'm tryign to do this while I'm waiting on someone to get something else done so I can continue with that which is higher priority. So I'm worried if I can get it working today it'll have to wait... because again, priorities

I haven't tried installing Snipe-IT on Fedora using the script. I've only done it manually.

Yeah I was going to do it manually, but I wanted to save time and use the script... jokes on me I guess.
I'm trying it from a 100% fresh install, except for installing wget.

Now I'm running into this issue:

https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/issues/3787#issuecomment-325171989I think that's the issue they on their website too.
https://snipe-it.readme.io/v4.0/docs/upgrading-to-v4Known Issues Users running MariaDB 10.2.7 and later may have an issue upgrading or installing, due to a change in the way MariaDB stores null defaults. This issue will be fixed once the open pull request in the Doctrine repo is merged and a new version of Doctrine is released with these fixes. You can read more about that issue here. -
I found a way to get it going... steps incoming...
-
To install Snipe-IT on a fresh Fedora 28 minimal install:
- Install Fedora Server 28 minimal from NetISO.
- Okay to install the typical packages:
dnf install -y wget cockpit cockpit-storaged net-tools dnf-automatic - Download and run the Snipe-IT install script:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
chmod 744 install.sh
./install.sh - By default, the laravel log has bad permissions and needs to be fixed for Pre-Flight to work:
chmod 0755 /var/www/html/snipeit/storage/logs/laravel.log
chown apache:apache /var/www/html/snipeit/storage/logs/Laravel.log - By default, you won't be able to send mail with SELinux, allow it to:
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail 1 - Pre-flight will now show and pass. Click the next button, it will fail. Then run this command to fix the DB issue:
reference: https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/issues/5242#issue-307531010
mysql -u root -p
ALTER TABLE snipeit.assets CHANGE `_snipeit_mac_address` `_snipeit_mac_address_1` varchar(191) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL NULL ;
Now go back to the Pre-flight page, and it should continue on as normal.

What permissions should the .env file be set to?
As when I've done the manual git clone method the preflight keeps telling me to make sure it's protected from the outside world

640 should be fine.
Are you able to browse to the .env file on your web browser? You should get a 404 when trying to.

@obsolesce it seemed to do that no matter what I set the permissions to
