Snipe-it makes asset management easy. It was built by people solving real-world IT and asset management problems, and a solid UX has always been a top priority. Straightforward design and bulk actions mean getting things done faster.

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/snipe-it should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker create \
  --name=snipe-it \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e APP_URL=<hostname or ip> \
  -e MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR=<mysql host> \
  -e MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT=<mysql port> \
  -e MYSQL_DATABASE=<mysql database> \
  -e MYSQL_USER=<mysql pass> \
  -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=changeme \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -v <path to snipe-it data>:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/snipe-it

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

version: "3"
services:
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5
    container_name: snipe_mysql
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - <path to mysql data>:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<secret password>
      - MYSQL_USER=snipe
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=<secret user password>
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=snipe
  snipeit:
    image: linuxserver/snipe-it:latest
    container_name: snipe-it
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      - mysql
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
    environment:
      - APP_URL=< your application URL IE 192.168.10.1:8080>
      - MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR=mysql
      - MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT=3306
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=snipe
      - MYSQL_USER=snipe
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=<secret user password>
      - PGID=1000
      - PUID=1000
    ports:
      - "8080:80"

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

This container also generates an SSL certificate and stores it in

/config/keys/cert.crt
/config/keys/key.crt

To use your own certificate swap these files with yours. To use SSL forward your port to 443 inside the container IE:

-p 443:443

The application accepts a series of environment variables to further customize itself on boot:

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Access the webui at <your-ip>:8080, for more information check out Snipe-it.

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it snipe-it /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f snipe-it
• container version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' snipe-it
• image version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/snipe-it

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

• Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/snipe-it
• Stop the running container: docker stop snipe-it
• Delete the container: docker rm snipe-it
• Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
• Start the new container: docker start snipe-it
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

• Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one shot:

  docker run --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock taisun/updater \
  --oneshot snipe-it
  

• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

• Update all images: docker-compose pull
  • or update a single image: docker-compose pull snipe-it
• Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
  • or update a single container: docker-compose up -d snipe-it
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
