This VM is created for 2 reasons: 1. Very little initial setup work required to make an Asset Management System live, within minutes. 2. This system should keep running for Years, without requiring Updates / Breakages.
If you are new to Virtual Machines, then please watch the Video below ( taken from my other project. just replace td with am wherever mentioned )
After starting this VM, please login to its administration panel with:
Website Address: https://am.local/
( Accept Any Warnings due to Usage of Self-Signed https Certificates )
Admin Username: admin
Admin Password: Change_this1
from any PC on your Local Network.
Explore all the available Menu options, before beginning any data entry.
Configure OUTGOING MAIL SERVER SETTINGS in the .env file, using the free FileZilla ftp client software's edit facility. See below.
Backup the system regularly, to avoid any issues.
These are also covered in the video. Google Search helps in finding more about Snipe-IT.
Features
- A surprisingly simple, user-friendly, original and FREE Asset Management software, that millions use daily.
- As this system is meant for local network usage, it uses a self-signed https certificate. Hence, browsers will throw a warning for the first time. Please accept the same and proceed ahead.
- If you like Snipe-IT ( as i did ), you can support its development efforts, by sponsoring the project at : https://snipeitapp.com/donate
- A small correction in the Video below: Choose a LAN Card Network Adapter Connection in Virtualbox ( Not Wifi ), after connecting your PC to your Router / Switch, with a LAN Cable. If the Router / Switch has a DHCP Server enabled inside, then the Virtual Machine, will be able to obtain an IP Address from it, quickly.
