Snipe-IT

Snipe-IT was made for IT asset management, to enable IT departments to track who has which laptop, when it was purchased, which software licenses and accessories are available, and so on.

Prerequisites

[!NOTE]
You may refer to Orked for help with setting up a Kubernetes cluster that meets all the following prerequisites.


Preflight checklist

[!IMPORTANT]
The following items are required to be set up prior to installing this chart.

Generate secret key

A unique, secure secret key is required for each Snipe-IT installation.

  1. Generate a secret key using the following command:

     docker run --rm docker.io/snipe/snipe-it php artisan key:generate --show
    
  2. Set the generated secret key as the value of the snipeit.secret setting in your installation’s values file:

     secret: "<generated-secret>"
    

[!NOTE]
The following configuration recommendations might not be the default settings for this chart but are highly recommended. Please carefully consider them before configuring your installation.

Application configurations

[!NOTE]
The following configurations are expected or recommended to be set up from within the application after completing the installation.

How to add the chart repo

  1. Add the repo to your local helm client:

     helm repo add mika https://irfanhakim-as.github.io/charts
    
  2. Update the repo to retrieve the latest versions of the packages:

     helm repo update
    

How to install or upgrade a chart release

  1. Get the values file of the Snipe-IT chart or an existing installation (release).

    Get the latest Snipe-IT chart values file for a new installation:

     helm show values mika/snipe-it > values.yaml
    

    Alternatively, get the values file of an existing Snipe-IT release:

     helm get values ${releaseName} --namespace ${namespace} > values.yaml
    

    Replace ${releaseName} and ${namespace} accordingly.

  2. Edit your Snipe-IT values file with the intended configurations:

     nano values.yaml
    

    Pay extra attention to the descriptions and sample values provided in the chart values file.

  3. Install a new release for Snipe-IT or upgrade an existing Snipe-IT release:

     helm upgrade --install ${releaseName} mika/snipe-it --namespace ${namespace} --create-namespace --values values.yaml --wait
    

    Replace ${releaseName} and ${namespace} accordingly.

  4. Verify that your Snipe-IT release has been installed:

     helm ls --namespace ${namespace} | grep "${releaseName}"
    

    Replace ${namespace} and ${releaseName} accordingly. This should return the release information if the release has been installed.


How to uninstall a chart release

[!CAUTION]
Uninstalling a release will irreversibly delete all the resources associated with the release, including any persistent data.

  1. Uninstall the desired release:

     helm uninstall ${releaseName} --namespace ${namespace} --wait
    

    Replace ${releaseName} and ${namespace} accordingly.

  2. Verify that the release has been uninstalled:

     helm ls --namespace ${namespace} | grep "${releaseName}"
    

    Replace ${namespace} and ${releaseName} accordingly. This should return nothing if the release has been uninstalled.
