finallycoffee.services.snipe_it ansible role

Snipe-IT is an open-source asset management with a powerful JSON-REST API. This ansible role deploys and configures Snipe-IT.

Requirements

Snipe-IT requires a MySQL-Database like MariaDB and a working email service for sending email. For installing and configuring MariaDB, see finallycoffee.base.mariadb.

Configuration

Required variables to set are:

• snipe_it_domain - domain name of the snipe-it instance
• snipe_it_config_app_url - URL where snipe-it will be reachable including protocol and port
• snipe_it_config_app_key - Laravel application key

Database configuration

All (database) options from the upstream laravel .env file are available under the snipe_it_config_db_* prefix. Configure a database as follows:

snipe_it_config_db_host: localhost # defaults to localhost
snipe_it_config_db_port: "3306" # defaults to 3306
snipe_it_config_db_database: my_snipe_db_name # defaults to 'snipeit'
snipe_it_config_db_username: my_snipe_db_user # defaults to 'snipeit'
snipe_it_config_db_password: my_snipe_db_password
# Set this if the database is shared with
# other applications. defaults to not set
snipe_it_config_db_prefix: snipe_

Email configuration

Configuring an email server is mandatory. An example is provided below:

snipe_it_config_mail_host: smtp.example.com
snipe_it_config_mail_username: snipe_user@snipe.example.com
snipe_it_config_mail_password: i_want_to_be_strong_and_long
snipe_it_config_mail_from_addr: "noreply@snipe.example.com"
snipe_it_config_mail_from_name: "Example.com SnipeIT instance"

The default smtp port is 587 and can be set in snipe_it_config_mail_port.
