I got this setup and working perfectly with 5.1.4. Do you have a how to guide on how to migrate? I am running 4.9.2 on a ubuntu server and want to migrate it over to this windows VM. Also want to upgrade it to the newest version when I migrate.

I recently had to rebuild my server(server 2019) that contained SnipeIT(5.0.12). I have the program re-installed and need to import a backup. I have unzipped the backup file and placed it in /storage/app/backups. I then tried a couple of suggestions from Github(see attachment). Do I need to put it in a different directory? Do you happen to know if they are working on a one-click restore feature? Thank you for your time!

SNIPE-IT team has removed the version number of the database in the listed requirements here -it.readme.io/docs/requirements. I have not deployed SNIPE-IT in a while and for sure I will check it, and update the blog accordingly.

tricky (and quite fun) to play with this, it seems you need the right combination of Snipe, Maria DB and PHP to get this working. (Saw on another forum that a lot of people were having issues with PHP 7.4 and these artisan commands for instance).

Had a NIGHTMARE of a time completing Step 10 Install composer. It kept kicking back an error that php_gd2.dll could not be found. I finally realized the solution was to go into the php.ini file and edit the [PHP_GD2] extension=php_gd2.dll to php_gd.dll.

Is it possible to install snipe-it application using php 8.0? Everything I see says php 7.4 but I want to use 8.0 and am getting a 500 internal server error on my Windows 2019 server VM. Is there something I am missing or need to added in order to get the installation working correctly?

Snipe-IT is a free and open-source asset management system that allows organizations to track and manage their hardware and software assets. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and configure Snipe-IT on Rocky Linux.

These lines configure Apache2 to serve the Snipe-IT application from the /var/www/html/snipe-it/public directory, and to allow .htaccess files to be used for overriding the default settings.

These commands create a new database named snipeit and grant all privileges on the database to the snipeit user. You can use a different database name and username/password if you prefer.

Snipe-IT comes with an interactive installer that will guide you through the process of configuring the application and populating the database with initial data. To run the installer, open a web browser and navigate to the URL of your Snipe-IT installation (e.g. -it.example.com).

The installer will first check if your system meets the minimum requirements for running Snipe-IT. If all the requirements are met, you will be asked to enter the database credentials that you created in the previous step.

Once the installation is complete, you will be asked to create an admin account for the Snipe-IT application. This account will be used to log in to the Snipe-IT dashboard and manage the assets and users in your organization.

After creating the admin account, the installer will complete the installation and redirect you to the Snipe-IT login page. You can now log in to the Snipe-IT dashboard using the admin account you created and start using the application.

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Snipe-IT on Rocky Linux. Snipe-IT is a powerful asset management system that allows organizations to track and manage their hardware and software assets. By following the steps in this tutorial, you can easily install and configure Snipe-IT on your own system and start using it to manage your assets.
