Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB

Running V4 now.
Not sure what I did different to the first 2 times I tried but works now

Robblehead

Scratching my head trying to update from 3.6.3. @JaredBusch was super helpful in getting us up and running.

We are looking to move our VM to a new server so I installed a fresh version of 4.0.13 with the above method and its working great.

I am attempting to update the existing server so I can do a backup then restore it on the new server.

I have tried following above directions and can not do a git pull as I used the install.sh script originally. I tried doing an install.sh on top again and no luck. I tried a git clone on top as well and no change. I am still loading up to the 3.6.3 version. Gitter hasn't been super helpful so I am crossing my fingers here.

Do steps 1 -4 from the official guide - https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/upgrading-to-v4. Step 3 is not required if no one else is using the app. Run the commands as the apache user ( sudo -u apache .........)

5- Follow along the first part from @JaredBusch guide to upgrade you install to use git

git clone https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it temp
rm -rf /var/www/html/snipeit/.git*
mv temp/.git* /var/www/html/snipeit/
rm -rf temp/
cd /var/www/html/snipeit/
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull --force
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/snipeit/

6- Run the following as apache user as @JaredBusch guide recommends.

sudo -u apache php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
sudo -u apache php composer.phar dump-autoload

7- Add APP_LOCALE=en to your .env file.

8- Double-check that your storage directory and all sub-directories are writable by apache user

9- Apply db migrations as the apache user

sudo -u apache php artisan migrate

10- Open your .env file again and change your current APP_KEY to LEGACY_APP_KEY and add a new APP_KEY= to the file. So assuming both fields are the last ones of the file, your .env file should look like this with the changes:

....
....
LEGACY_APP_KEY=thisisyourpreviouskey
APP_KEY=

Save your .env file with the changes and run

sudo -u apache php artisan key:generate
sudo -u apache php artisan config:clear
sudo -u apache php artisan snipeit:legacy-recrypt

If you get a "Whoops" error when you try to login or refresh your Snipe-IT page, you probably forgot to clear your browser cookies. That error happens because we use a more encryption cipher to encrypt your data (including sessions), and clearing your browser should fix that.

11 - If you put the site on maintenance bring it up (sudo -u apache php artisan up)and go to your snipeit url.

@aaronstuder does anything replace this step in v4 or it's just no longer needed?

when heading to Step 3, Create Admin User, the server defaults to an http connection. Is there anyway to configure snipe with https before getting to the setup page for the first user?

I think you can modify the .env file to use https://your-ip (or installation name).

In your .env config file, you would change APP_URL=http://snipeit.domain.com to APP_URL=https://snipeit.domain.com

@romo Worked first time. The -u apache was what I was missing in my code.

What is the best practice for restoring backups?

It looks like exporting and importing CSV you lose some data. I am obviously not super familiar with linux but can probably figure out SSH if that is preferred method?

Greetings of the Day!

We installed snipe-it but the pre-flight check page is not appearing.

The below command we used to install...

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

nano /var/log/httpd/snipeIT.error.log

@rejivincentc

You don't need to run

setenforce 0
mkdir -p /var/www/html; cd /var/www/html/

The script handles selinux setup on CentOS 7.

I just tested it and successfully install on CentOS 7. Can you provide the output of /var/log/snipeit-install.log ?

tiagom

@robblehead You restore the database and then restore the files to the appropriate place. I don't have a backup in front of me but the file structure is preserved in the backup.

If you're extracting on windows don't use the builtin unzip. You need to use 7zip or another file archiver.

SnipeIT currently as far as i am aware does not have an automated restore backup feature.

@rejivincentc The install script on Fedora and CentOS works perfectly. I do not know what your problem is. You are obviously doing something abnormal.

Please find the log...

After installing the setup page is not coming, it is just blank.

Setting MariaDB to start on boot and starting MariaDB.
Securing MariaDB.

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y

Dropping test database...
... Success!
Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!
