Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB
-
Doing this on a Digital Ocean CentOS 7.1 Droplet with 1GB of RAM. Always fully update before starting.
[root@temp-c7-snipeit ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) 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
Just accepts the defaults for MariaDB and set the root password. Remember to record this!!
Now a little more, the site should be up but will have errors because we aren't quite done yet...
cd snipeit vi app/config/app.php
Now modify the timezone line so that it looks like this...
Now we just have to do one final step to get everything configured and running. Just run this command to configure your first user:
php artisan app:install
Follow the prompts. Once completed, you are done. You can navigate to http://ipaddress/ and you should be able to log in and begin using your Snipe-IT system on CentOS 7 with MariaDB.

Trying to turn this into a single command install (assuming UTC time zone like I like to use):
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

Single line.

Well you can save it as a file and then it is a single command. Or wrap in it echo $(). Or if you host it and run it via curl, for example.

Confirmed working. You can now take a vanilla new install of CentOS 7 and with a single line it will take you to working server. Just follow the on screen prompts and when it is done you can log right into your Snipe-IT system remotely. http://myserver/
Takes about two minutes to build your box, nothing needed beyond that line.

Just tried but I still get no page.

Also might be worth mentioning this site for the time zones
http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php -

Screenshots? Was there any errors during your install?
What is the output of ...
netstat -tulpn

Going to try again with a CentOS7 install with GUI so I can try locally incase its a Firewall/Network issue onto the VM.
Will post screen shots if I still have issues. -

Will post screen shots if I still have issues.No need for a GUI to test if the page is up You can look at the local web server via curl or just use netstat to see if it is running.
Even if Snipe-IT fails, HTTPS should be up and there should he something to see.

What's the latest one line command to get this working on a fresh install (minimum iso)?

Seems 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.
