Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB

Trying to turn this into a single command install (assuming UTC time zone like I like to use):
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:installSeems if I use this the PHP stuff doesn't install. but if I go through it line by line and edit the files all seems to work. With the added steps of disabling SELINUX and adding
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reloadBut I have a working SnipIT to play with.

Also one issue is it's installed it to http://name
but when you click Dashboard it tries to go to https://name -

I had the PHP portion repeatedly fail due to a problem with their installer each time that I let their installer do the EPEL. That's why I put the EPEL back in the list. Each time I did it with the EPEL done manually it worked.
I think that because they are doing a custom script rather than a YUM command (it even complains that they are not using YUM) they have some fragility that makes you need to run it over and over again or watch for install errors. This is why people should write RPM packages rather than trying to get all weird and fancy.

I stood up a CentOS 7 and ran Scott's single line install.
It asked me if I wanted to have the system make it's own password, then it asked me to setup a password for the maria DB, then do I want fake data, and allow anonymous user access, and a test db.
Then it asked me again to create a user and to put in fake data and a test db and remove anonymous, etc and ended with this error.

Everything seems to be working pretty well. I'll get some of our data into it this week.
Scott's single line install was pretty nice. I looked over the docker setup, huh.. for someone like me who can barely spell Linux let alone admin it - Docker looks like a pain to configure.

Docker is still non-trivial at this point. It's for people moving to DevOps models.

Can someone provide screen shots of stuff being tracked and such? I do need to get our company assets all tracked someplace. I am always up for something more than a spreadsheet.

I did look at the online demo they have. It looks nice, but it works like crap on my iPad.

Ya I agree. If you want to start with containers LXC is easier to get started with IMO. It's not as separated as docker is and you can open a console on the container and use it just like a regular system.

Couple questions,
- can I assume that fail2ban will work out of the box since it is just apache?
- Has anyone seen a community support channel for snipe-it? Because I have not seen one.

Golden John SDid you ensure selinux was disabled?
setenforce 0
That is pretty much a standard troubleshooting step on CentOS 7. If that fixes it, then you can look into what specific thing need allowed. -
@JaredBusch This seemed to work for me. I'm extremely new to the linux world. How would one go about finding out why I need to do this every time I restart the server?

Here are the selinux info

You will want to change the context of the files instead of disabling SELinux. Most likely you will need to run
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/htmlThen if you type
ls -lZIn /var/www/html/ it should show the context for each file and it should be
httpd_sys_rw_content_t -

The high level reason is because whatever your setup is, it is not set up properly for SELinux. And the command being used does not change the SELinux setting but disables it temporarily. When your system reboots it turns SELinux back on since the configuration for it was not changed - it is still set to run when the system starts.

Right, using
setenforce 0is a troubleshooting step only. by using it to disable SELinux, and everything then worked, you know that you then just need to look at what the application is doing that SELinux does not like. Starting with what @johnhooks said above. Then usesetenforce 1to turn it back on and see if it still works right. -
If installing a CentOS7 on a local VM, what base enviroment/addons are needed to have the one line installer work?
