Snipe IT

Open Source Asset Management

Snipe IT provides a powerful, user friendly asset management system, which your team will love to use. It was designed to enable IT departments big or small to track who has what hardware, when it was purchased, which software licenses apply to it and what accessories are available, and so on.

Despite it's intended use for IT, many users online state that it is a great asset management tool for a whole range of alternate scenarios, such as vehicle management, including maintenance scheduling.

Snipe-IT provides extensive documentation online, including a thorough User Manual.

This TurnKey appliance also includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • SSL support out of the box.
  • Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (MariaDB) (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).
  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email.
  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.
