Snipe-IT, the open source IT asset management system, preinstalled for AWS with nginx, PHP 8.3 and MariaDB. Per instance administrator and database credentials are generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Snipe-IT by cloudimg
Snipe-IT is the popular free open source IT asset management system: track hardware assets, software licenses, accessories, consumables and components, check items in and out to users and locations, print QR and barcode labels, run audits and reports, and drive it all through a full REST API. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Snipe-IT fully installed and configured, so a complete asset management platform is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Snipe-IT 8.6.
## Application Stack
The image runs Snipe-IT, a Laravel application, on PHP 8.3 with OPcache, served by nginx with php-fpm. MariaDB provides the database. The Laravel task scheduler runs every minute through a systemd timer. Database migrations are already applied and the pre-flight setup is complete, so customers land directly on the sign-in page.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh Laravel application key, a fresh MariaDB password and a fresh administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes the administrator password to a root only file. The instance's own address is set as the application URL automatically. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The Snipe-IT code tree, web server and database are all configured, with application files, uploads and the database on dedicated, independently resizable storage volumes. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the administrator, and start adding companies, locations, asset models and assets.
