PSA: Changes are happening
From August 2018 onwards, Linuxserver are in the midst of switching to a new CI platform which will enable us to build and release multiple architectures under a single repo. To this end, existing images for arm64 and armhf builds are being deprecated. They are replaced by a manifest file in each container which automatically pulls the correct image for your architecture. You'll also be able to pull based on a specific architecture tag.
TLDR: Multi-arch support is changing from multiple repos to one repo per container image.
linuxserver/snipe-it
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.
Supported Architectures
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.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Tag |
|---|---|
| X86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v6-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker
docker create \

-e PUID=1001 \
-e PGID=1001 \
-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 \

Parameters
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.
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
-p 80 |
Snipe-IT Web UI |
-e PUID=1001 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1001 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e APP_URL=<hostname or ip> |
Hostname or IP and port if applicable IE :8080 |
-e MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR=<mysql host> |
Mysql hostname or IP to use |
-e MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT=<mysql port> |
Mysql port to use |
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=<mysql database> |
Mysql database to use |
-e MYSQL_USER=<mysql pass> |
Mysql user to use |
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD=changeme |
Mysql password to use |
-v /config |
Contains your config files and data storage for Snipe-IT |
Optional Parameters
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:
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
-e APP_TIMEZONE= |
The timezone the application will use IE US/Pacific |
-e APP_ENV= |
Default is production but can use testing or develop |
-e APP_DEBUG= |
Set to true to see debugging output in the web UI |
-e APP_LOCALE= |
Default is en set to the language preferred full list [here][localesurl] |
-e MAIL_PORT_587_TCP_ADDR= |
SMTP mailserver ip or hostname |
-e MAIL_PORT_587_TCP_PORT= |
SMTP mailserver port |
-e MAIL_ENV_FROM_ADDR= |
The email address mail should be replied to and listed when sent |
-e MAIL_ENV_FROM_NAME= |
The name listed on email sent from the default account on the system |
-e MAIL_ENV_ENCRYPTION= |
Mail encryption to use IE tls |
-e MAIL_ENV_USERNAME= |
SMTP server login username |
-e MAIL_ENV_PASSWORD= |
SMTP server login password |
User / Group Identifiers
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=1001 and PGID=1001, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
Application Setup
Access the webui at <your-ip>:8080, for more information check out Snipe-it.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' snipe-it
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/snipe-it
