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?

[rejivincentc]

@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

OS -Centos 7

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]

Did @rejivincentc update work for you?

[Robblehead]

@scottalanmiller I will test this afternoon and let you guys know, appreciate the help

[rejivincentc]

@scottalanmiller Yes, its working

Awesome

[Robblehead]

@rejivincentc unfortunately I am still not working with a clean install and running those lines mentioned.

Any ideas?

[JaredBusch]

The above script fails to opent he firewall.

I just did a clean install and got the same result.

[root@snipeit html]# firewall-cmd --list-ports

[root@snipeit html]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp --permanent
success
[root@snipeit html]# firewall-cmd --reload
success

now it works.

[JaredBusch]

So the full process to get a new clean version running is this.

Install CentOS 7 minimal r1611 (current release as of this writing)

Then run these commands.

yum -y update
yum -y install wget
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
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

The install.sh script will install and enable the EPEL, MariaDB, and IUS repositories. Not sure why the MariaDB repo is needed as that is part of core now. Did not look at the script, just it said it was doing it on the status screen.

Then it will install all the pieces.

It also runs the secure mysql thing.

Really the only thing it missed was the firewall.

Obviously the whole disabling of SELinux is bad. I would never recommend running a server like that if given any choice at all.

Unlike FreePBX, there are not that many pieces to this program, so it should not be hard to properly setup things to work with SELinux.
