      @scottalanmiller Im new to the forum, any update with Centos 7 and Maria DB installation and configuration? Haven't started since Snipe IT documentation looks confusing and less details for a not so linux expert like me....

        @jfc Setup you CentOS 7 vm and only use their install script.

        wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
        chmod 744 install.sh
        ./install.sh
        

        It will download everything you need and get you to a working Snipe IT installation, I just setup my own Snipe IT vm like this =).

          Can't seem to grasp how to upgrade from V2 to V3 as I've used the above method and used the install.sh

          So not sure if I should be using GIT to clone the new version and then how to install/move the latest version and what files need editing.

            Tested on centOS 7 installs great. Wonder how we update.

              @tiagom Taken from here https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/how-to-upgrade:

              Upgrading
              Updating Snipe-IT should be pretty straightforward. Simply pull down the newest release, copy the files over, and run whatever commands the release notes specify. Your configuration won’t be overwritten, since the .env file isn't checked into version control.

              Always backup your database and configuration files before upgrading. We try very hard to make sure that all database changes are non-destructive, but you should always backup beforehand anyway. You will never regret backing up your database. You may regret not doing so, so it’s just better to get into the habit.

              Whenever you pull down a new version from master or develop, or when you grab the latest official release, make sure to run the following commands via command line:

              php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
              php composer.phar dump-autoload
              php artisan migrate
              php artisan config:clear
              php artisan config:cache
              (Developers should remove the --no-dev flag, so they have unit test frameworks and debugging tools.)

              Forgetting to run these commands can mean your DB might end up out of sync with the new files you just pulled, or you may have some funky cached autoloader values.

              It’s a good idea to get into the habit of running these every time you pull anything new down. If there are no database changes to migrate, it won't hurt anything to run migrations anyway, you’ll just see "Nothing to migrate".

              If you have any issues upgrading, check the Common Issues page for a fix. If you don’t see your issue listed there, open an issue on Github and we’ll try to get you sorted out. Be sure to provide the information outlined in the Getting Help section of this site so that we have the info we need to assist you.

                That's the first issue I have. I used the install.sh method so how do we download the latest?

                Do I GIT the latest into the var/www/snipeit folder?
                Do I download a zip/tar and unpack into the folder etc etc. 🙂

                  @hobbit666 You can use either way, they both accomplish the same thing that is downloading the newest source files.

                  Step 1: Backup your database
                  While logged in, go to Admin > Backups and generate a new backup. Download that file and keep it somewhere safe, in case you need to restore back to that version if something goes wrong with your upgrade.

                  Step 2: Backup your old version
                  The easiest way to do this will be to just rename your old Snipe-IT install directory and create a new, empty directory that uses the old directory name, but you can handle this any way that works for you.

                  For example, if your Snipe-IT was installed in /var/www/snipe-it, you could rename that directory to /var/www/snipe-it-backup and then create a new directory /var/www/snipe-it.

                  Step 3: Download/clone the new release
                  Download the zip from: https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/archive/master.zip
                  or
                  git clone https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it.git

                  Step 4: Update dependencies
                  Whenever you pull down a new version, you should update the dependencies via Composer and dump the autoloader.

                  NOTE: Never run composer as a super-user or Administrator. Always run it as the user that owns the Snipe-IT files. Running composer as a super-user will break things in ways that will be difficult to debug later. Just don't do it.

                  1st you'll need to install composer into the directory if you don't have it installed globally:

                  cd <install-dir>
                  curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php 
                  

                  Noq update dependencies and dump the auto-loader.

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

                  Step 5: Copy over your configuration settings

                  IMPORTANT:
                  This step will only need to be done once, while upgrading to v3.0. Once you've upgraded to v3.0, you won't ever have to do this part again.

                  Open up your .env file in your new Snipe-IT install directory, and update the configuration placeholders you see there with the values you were previously using in your individual config files.

                  If you don't have a .env file, just copy the existing .env.example over to .env and use that:

                  cp .env.example .env
                  

                  The files you'll be copying from are:

                  • app/config/app.php
                  • app/config/production/app.php
                  • app/config/production/database.php
                  • app/config/production/mail.php
                  • app/config/production/session.php
                  New .env Setting Old Config File Old Config File Key Notes
                  APP_ENV N/A N/A Set to production
                  APP_DEBUG /app/config/production/app.php debug
                  APP_KEY /app/config/production/app.php key Make SURE you keep this app key the same from your old version.
                  APP_URL /app/config/production/app.php url
                  APP_TIMEZONE /app/config/app.php timezone
                  APP_LOCALE /app/config/app.php locale
                  DB_CONNECTION /app/config/production/database.php default This should be mysql
                  DB_HOST /app/config/production/database.php connections-> mysql-> host
                  DB_DATABASE /app/config/production/database.php connections-> mysql-> database
                  DB_USERNAME /app/config/production/database.php connections-> mysql-> username
                  DB_PASSWORD /app/config/production/database.php connections-> mysql-> password
                  DB_PREFIX /app/config/production/database.php connections-> mysql-> prefix
                  DB_DUMP_PATH N/A N/A Path to your dabase dump binary (such as mysqldump)e.g. '/usr/local/bin'
                  MAIL_DRIVER /app/config/production/mail.php driver
                  MAIL_HOST /app/config/production/mail.php host
                  MAIL_PORT /app/config/production/mail.php port
                  MAIL_USERNAME /app/config/production/mail.php username
                  MAIL_PASSWORD /app/config/production/mail.php password
                  MAIL_ENCRYPTION /app/config/production/mail.php encryption
                  MAIL_FROM_ADDR /app/config/production/mail.php from->address
                  MAIL_FROM_NAME /app/config/production/mail.php from->name
                  IMAGE_LIB N/A N/A Should be set to gd or imagick, depending on which library you have on your server.
                  SESSION_LIFETIME /app/config/production/session.php lifetime
                  EXPIRE_ON_CLOSE /app/config/production/session.php expire_on_close
                  ENCRYPT N/A N/A Should be set to true if you wish to encrypt your cookies.
                  COOKIE_NAME /app/config/production/session.php cookie
                  COOKIE_DOMAIN /app/config/production/session.php domain
                  SECURE_COOKIES /app/config/production/session.php secure

                  Everything else in your .env can be left alone, as they are more advanced settings that are not commonly used.

                  Step 6: Move uploaded files and check permissions
                  Since Laravel's file structure has changed, you're going to need to move a few files around to make sure your uploaded files (logo, uploaded asset files, asset model files, etc) are in their new location.

                  cp ../snipe-it-backup/app/storage/dumps/* snipe-it/storage/app/backups/
                  cp ../snipe-it-backup/app/private_uploads/* snipe-it/storage/private_uploads/
                  cp ../snipe-it-backup/public/uploads/* snipe-it/public/uploads/
                  

                  Also confirm that your entire storage directory (and subdirectories) is writable by the web server.

                  Step 7: Migrate the database
                  Always run your database migrations on any upgrade, as this will make sure your database schema is up to date with what the new code expected.

                  php artisan migrate
                  

                  Forgetting to run these commands can mean your DB might end up out of sync with the new files you just pulled, or you may have some funky cached autoloader values.

                  It’s a good idea to get into the habit of running these every time you pull anything new down. If there are no database changes to migrate, it won't hurt anything to run migrations anyway, you’ll just see "Nothing to migrate".

                  Step 8: Launch Snipe-IT in a browser
                  You should be all set now, so just go to your old Snipe-IT URL and make sure everything is working.

                              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.

                                    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.
