Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB

scottalanmiller

@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?

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 0 is 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 use setenforce 1 to 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?

Good question. This was done before I had our Scale HC3 cluster with capacity to do all of our testing on vanilla OSes. It was only tested on DO, as far as I know. I'll test this on a CentOS 7 Minimal and let you know....

@subi15wrx and welcome to the community, by the way!!

All I did on a min install was add net-tools and wget.
Then followed the step by step commands as the one line command didn't work for me. In fact I've just created a new VLAN for "Misc" servers so will be re-installing Snipe very soon (today if I get time - FogServer First)

scottalanmiller

Just ran through the one line installer and it worked.

Indeed wget is missing. So before starting you need to...

yum -y install wget

And on some CentOS 7 minimal installs there is no firewall. If that is the case for you, you should be good. If you have a firewall you will need to open port 80 like so...

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent; firewall-cmd --reload

scottalanmiller

In theory, this single line should do the trick:

yum -y install wget; 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 --reload

Assuming that you run as root.

scottalanmiller

I updated the command up top to add in the installation of a firewall, wget and to configure the firewall.

Will give that a go once I got Fog installed.

@scottalanmiller Thanks Scott got everything up and running, except I get a nasty red bar across the top of my screen "WARNING: This application is running in production mode with debugging enabled. This can expose sensitive data if your application is accessible to the outside world. Disable debug mode by setting the debug value app/config/production/app.php to false."

Could you point me in the right direct.

 nano /var/www/html/app/config/production/app.php

Change the Disable debug mode line to end with false instead of true.
Save and close. Restart the webserver

systemctl restart httpd

Shouldn't be all that difficult, the error message spells it out quite clearly.

nano is not installed in a minimal setup by default. he will have to either use vi or install nano first yum -y install nano

I'm forever forgetting about that, it's installed in the base image I use. I also have an unnatural loathing of vi and vim. Neither has really made me happy to be using it. If you ask me, keep your sanity, use nano

Ha I've forced myself to use Vi and Vim and now I find myself typing :wq when I want to exit things like gedit and Atom.

Yanking and pasting are awesome features for Vim though. Being able to type ya( to copy everything between parenthesis is really nice.

I can use vi, I prefer not to. I always install nano along with wget and epel-release

Yep, nothing wrong with them, and very powerful tools for working with text. Command structure just never really clicked in my brain tho, whereas nano just meshed so much easier for me.

I definitely don't use hardly 1% of the things it can do. I just found things like typing / to search easier than ctrl+w(or whatever it is in nano)

I've definitely had times where I got stuck in some weird mode though and had no idea how to exit other than doing :q! and losing my work.

Yep... this happens with me on Debian based systems often. On CentOS I can fly through vi but on Debian systems some of the default options change and that makes working in it so much more difficult.
