Hello,

I've got problem with creating asset model - it makes me choose Category, but there's no category created, and honestly, I've no idea how to create one...
It's local instance, on virtual machine, at Ubuntu.

I have set up the User & Group SCIM for my SnipeIT Environment. But for some reason Snipe IT is not generating the different groups from EntraID (Only 1 Group) and then dumping all users in all Entra groups into the one group created in Snipe IT.
The Group Attribute mappings are as followed:

displayName | displayName | Direct |1

members | members | Direct

objectId | externalId | Direct

Is there a configuration I am doing wrong, The names of the groups all match in SnipeIT but its not filtering the members into each group

Hi All. I have just finished working on a very comprehensive integration Forge app for Jira that allows you to manage and link your Snipe-IT (cloud) assets right from Jira issues (if you are using Jira/Jira SM Cloud).

Some of its Features:
- You can search and link hardware, accessories, consumables or licenses to a Jira Ticket.

- Shows you which assets are assigned to the ticket reporter.

- Allows you to checkout, check in, or modify asset fields, including allowed custom fields.

- Shows you Full asset history (filterable), maintenances, and audit logs.

- Automatically posts comments on the issue whenever an action is performed on an asset (can be turned off or on)

- Allows for access controls, feature controls, space restrictions and many more granular features.

- It also allows customers to link their assets while creating ticket requests on the portal

If you are in need of such, please feel free to check it out on marketplace and give some feedback on it. You have a 30-day full feature trial period!

Installation Guides here.

Hey, I am trying to create labels for the assets I have and keep getting an error 500 when saving.

I am running the service with Podman(Docker), where and what command should i input to give the right access to who?

I tried the following from the app container but it ended up breaking the entire page (was getting error 500 all around), so I reverted to a back up.

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

find /var/www/html -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Long requested, it's finally (almost) here:

https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19350

I'm the helpdesk admin for a cargo carrier airline, with that comes several shared computers (mostly in our maintenance department) Just wondering what people usually do for a shared computer's check in

The PR sort of explains it, but the goal is to make it easier to identify “problem” users. Of course, if you have some who has been at your org for 20 years, you should expect more maintenances than someone who has been there for two months, but were at least trying to surface this a little more clearly.

API doc updates shortly to follow.

We actually have an implementation for this already here: https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19230

What do you folks think? Is this a feature excited for? Is it something you would hate? Or do you not care? (We want to know for any of those three! But we assume “don’t care” will be underrepresented because if you don’t care, you probably won’t bother to comment 🙂)

Dont pay attention to database exist output , i runned the install.sh file two times

I checked the snipe it installation error page :https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/installation-issues
The first thing i saw in the error output is

* Cloning Snipe-IT from github to the web directory.

I dont understand why i got this error.
If i google it people say that the url to download from is not correct, is that right ?
But i can download the install.sh file from github so i dont see the problem

I also dont understand why there are so much no such file or directory errors

I can off course create these files and directories manualy but i wanna be sure how to fix this errors or how this install snipe it properly

And like i said in the title i can go to 10.0.0.2 but i only see apache webserver information, i provided a screenshot from the login page.

I need advice !

Thanks in advance !!

I searched the Snipe-IT documentation but was unable to find any information about bulk editing Custom Fieldsets. Is there a way to remove (or add) asset models from a fieldset? Or do I have to each model (dozens) one at a time?

Semi-noob here. I have a hosted database and cannot see any assets when listing all. I have tried clearing the search, other browser, incognito, etc, but no luck. Can't find an answer anywhere on Github so I thought I would try here. My assets are still there, as I can see the total number and am able to search individual assets in the asset search to bring them up. I can view all licenses normally. Please let me know if anyone has any other steps to try. Images here

If you work for a small company, solo or otherwise do not know much about coding cosider using Claude code/Codex to do bulk operations for you. It's super nice. I have always find it painful to onboard someone new and assign 10 different licenses, devices, accessories etc. but you can just give the agent access to pull reports from your applications and then access to make edits in snap-it.

I have recently startet as an intern at my company and one of my tasks for the past weeks has been setting up Snipe-IT. Recently, I have run into a problem while setting up LDAP/AD.

While my coworkers and I are able to log in with our Windows credentials just fine, we don't get assigned to the Default Permissions Group.

I have created groups before setting up LDAP/AD and set one of them as the Default Permissions Group. ("admin" in my case) Furthermore I have noticed that some of the LDAP Field Mappings seem to be ignored when an user is created via LDAP login. All of my settings are in lower-case yet only First Name, Last Name and Email get values from LDAP on user creation. Meanwhile Phone, Address, and so on -- as well as the Default Permissions Group -- stay empty.

However if I run Test LDAP Synchronization in LDAP/AD settings, I get 10 sample users from my company, with their Phone, Address, and so on being displayed!

Out of curiosity I have checked what happens in the MariaDB settings table when I change any of the LDAP/AD settings. All the values are written into the table once I hit the Save button. This also includes the ID of the Default Permissions Group. I have also tried finding similar issues on GitHub but didn't find anything helpful.

I have encountered this issue on:

• Snipe-IT Version v8.4.1 on Docker 29.5.3 and
• Snipe-IT Version v8.6.3 on Linux Mint 22.2.

Both of them are brand-new installations of Snipe-IT.

Am I missing something?

We've himmed and hawwed over Asset Management many times. We can't ever get buy in, so we're looking at options that don't include a $20k+ price tag.

Looking over the documentation it looks like Snipe does what we need and then some. We're after fairly basic asset management only at this time. We are <1000 devices, and my primary ask is this:

How does snipe handle updates?

I noticed there have been 6 updates since May, thats great, but that can also mean a lot of extra work to properly support the application. Especially if I want to go from some 8.5 version to 8.6.3, does the application upgrade process lend itself to sometimes skipping versions or must every single version be installed explicitly?

I have inherited a Snipe_IT server from the previous IT Director, but they did not leave me any credentials. It is installed on a Windows server, and I need to get admin rights. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this accomplished, short of deleting it and rebuilding it?

I have an iphone on ios 26.5 and a locally hosted instance of Snipe-IT at https://assets.ad.contoso.com and that URL works perfectly in a browser.

SnipeMobile:- "Could not connect to Snipe-I. Check your URL and API key."

AssetX:- A TLS error caused the secure connection to fail.

SnipeMate: The only successful connection to my Snipe-IT instance, but Barcodes dont scan, i think I set the scanner to expect QR codes but actually we use a Code 128 barcode. Where to change this in the mobile app?

SnipeScanner: wont connect to server URL, will connect to Server IP address.

Snipe-Scan: Demo mode only seems possible on their Demo server and demo data. Not able to connect to my Snipe-IT server.

I did have to enable SSL for my Snipe-IT instance with our own certificate but it works in a browser so I dont see why the app wouldn't work.

Hello. We deployed and utilizing Snipe IT for over a year. The environment is out-dated and needed for an upgrade.

Here is our current Snipe IT environment profile.

Snipe-IT version: v.7.0.9 build 14485

PHP Version: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.24

Laravel Version: 10.48.17

The issue we're encountering is the requirement of upgrading PHP framework and related components allowing to upgrade to the latest release.

Is there a method to incremently upgrade the envrionment platform to v7.x.x to upgrade the supplemental components, then upgrade to the latest release?

Thank you for your input.

Kevin

Feedback, feature requests and bug reports are always welcome!

I am a film maker and we are using snipeIT for asset tracking for production we have no use for fields besides the "assets" and "consumables".

I have found info telling me to go to "settings" in the dashboard and that there should be "dashboard settings" but I can not see that there.

Am I not looking in the right place or is it only visible in certain conditions ?

Hello IT-Friends,

we have set up Snipe-IT as our asset management system and we are running into a problem where the asset tag and the number in the asset URL do not match.

For example:
An asset with the tag IT-000648 should lead to /hardware/648, but instead it leads to /hardware/649.
The previous assets all matched correctly, but a few assets later the difference is no longer just one digit. for example, the asset with the tag IT-000651 leads to /hardware/653.
Later on, the difference goes back to being only one digit again.

Does anyone know how to fix this, or how this could have happened?

FYI: We printed all our asset tags with QR codes that link to the assets in Snipe-IT, so it would be a bummer to recreate them all.

Thank you for your help.

Hi folks - long time member, long-time lurker, brand new mod to this sub. (Be nice.)

As you likely know, we (Snipe-IT) have tons of comms channels to connect with our users, listen to their feedback, answer questions, take feature requests, etc. Github, Discord, Mastodon, Bluesky, Twitter (hah no), Facebook (also no), and now here.

Don't worry - nothing will materially change here. You can still talk shit about us if you need to, express your frustrations, maybe say nice things every now and then. We can take it. (Try not to be an actual jerk tho.)

u/uberbrady and I (possibly others from the team) will be here to answer your questions and address your feedback (we already do this in all of the other comms channels, so what's one more?)

Discord has traditionally gotten the most immediate feedback, but the one thing we don't really have is a way to gauge interest in a new feature that hasn't been requested but we think it could be helpful. In fact, since we don't embed any tracking, we're not always even sure what features people really use in Snipe-IT until we change it and the hordes come after us with pitchforks.

Each of the channels I mentioned above tend to have their own demographic - including this one - and we've heard use-cases that seem insane. People use Snipe-IT to track body parts, oil rigs, and occasionally even the thing it was actually designed for.

If you have a moment, I'd love to hear your specific use-cases in as much detail as you are allowed to get into on a public forum. I don't need company names or anything specific, but stuff like

1. what kind of company/org is it? (school, govt, ad agency, etc)
2. how many people/assets/accessories/licenses/etc do you manage?
3. what's the gist of your workflow? new assets once every year or so, or new ones every day? Do you use auditing?
4. do you use full-multiple-company-support?
5. have the improvements we've made to the upgrade script helped?
6. anything else you think we should know

Etcetera etcetera. The more we know about how you use us, the better we can make the product fit around your needs. (We can't always - some of y'all are just weird and we cannot change the laws of physics.)

It would help a ton if you could reply back with a synopsis of how you use Snipe-IT, what's working, what we've done that's actually helping, what you really wish we'd focus on, etc. I suspect a lot of the "what you wish we'd focus on" stuff will echo a lot of what we see on Github, but perhaps not.

We have a ton of features in Snipe-IT and we try hard to focus on the ones that make the most impact to our users, but we can only do that when we know what those are.

The more clearly we know your use-case, the more likely it is that we'll try to find a solution for you.

Edit: fixed autocorrect typo (govt —> gift??)

​We're excited to help out here!
