use /tmp/snipeit for working with files and clean that up at the end.
also use mysql_secure_installation to set the root password instead of
setting it and making the user input it again.
I changed the if/else statement to a case statement so that we can do
multiple os/versions. Also added the working code for CentOS 7 that I
will backport to CentOS 6. Need to add OS version detection.
The script keeps the "url" variable set as https in $dir/app/config/production/app.php but the script sets up the apache for http. The only problem this caused for me was the "Dashboard" and "Snipe-IT" button's href was set to https.
This script is designed to install Snipe-It on a fresh install of Ubuntu or CentOS. You will receive minimal options regarding setting passwords and the script should take care of the rest. The purpose of this script is to install Snipe-It on a server that will be dedicated to the application.
This was tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 7, YMMV with different OS versions.
This script will
1. Ask for Snipe it version 1.2.8 or 2.0
2. Detect distro version (between CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu)
3. Install all software and dependencies, create vhosts.
This isn't the smartest script, and it needs a little love, and I'm on the fence about SMTP settings. Would love feedback about the SMTP part, and the whole script in general. I'll be glad to fine tune it some more, I just need a point in the right direction. Hopefully if this is merged in 2.0, it won't cause a huge influx of tickets. This is the first time I've contributed to a project like this, so I don't know the social norms; if having my name at the top isn't appropriate (or fit in with the scope of Snipe It), we can remove it. No big deal, just wanted to have my name somewhere, but it's not a make-it-or-break-it thing for me :o)
