Snipe-IT Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Snipe-IT hosting for IT teams that are tired of tracking laptops in a spreadsheet. Deploy Snipe-IT 8.7.2, self-hosted IT asset management software: xCloud runs the pinned image with a private MariaDB 11.8.3 database, generates the application key and database credentials, mounts two persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS, so you open the setup wizard, create your administrator and start logging assets within minutes.

What is Snipe-IT?

Self-hosted Snipe-IT is IT asset management software. Its README describes a FOSS project for asset management in IT operations: knowing who has which laptop, when it was purchased so it can be depreciated correctly, and handling software licenses. It is a web application built on Laravel that can take over from asset spreadsheets or a hosted asset-management account when you want a focused inventory on your own server, and it is licensed under the GNU AGPL v3.

On xCloud the template runs the snipe/snipe-it v8.7.2 image beside a private MariaDB 11.8.3 database, both pinned by immutable digest. The snipeit_data and snipeit_db volumes persist uploads and records. HTTPS is published on your domain, and xCloud generates the application key and database credentials. There is no generated admin account: you create the first administrator in the setup wizard.

From Sign-Up to a Live Snipe-IT In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Snipe-IT normally means a PHP application, a MariaDB database, an application key, a domain and a certificate before the first asset is logged. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Snipe-IT from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server; there are no install fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned snipe/snipe-it v8.7.2 image beside a private MariaDB 11.8.3 database, mount the snipeit_data and snipeit_db volumes, generate the app key and database credentials, and publish it over HTTPS.
Step 03
Run The Setup Wizard
Open your HTTPS URL and complete the Snipe-IT setup wizard straight away to create the first administrator, then add your locations, categories and first assets.

Everything Snipe-IT Does, On Your Own Server

Snipe-IT runs in full here: asset tracking with its own web interface and database, on infrastructure you control.

Asset Tracking
Record who has which laptop and when it was purchased, so you can depreciate it correctly, as upstream describes the job.
Software Licenses
Handle software licenses in the same system as the hardware they run on, instead of a separate spreadsheet.
Check-In And Check-Out
Assign assets to people and take them back, with the template's own description listing check-in and check-out workflows.
Audit History
Keep a history of changes and audits against assets, so you can see what happened to a device and when.
Private MariaDB Database
MariaDB 11.8.3 runs on its own volume with no published port, holding every record Snipe-IT keeps.
Two Persistent Volumes
Application data on snipeit_data and the database on snipeit_db survive restarts and redeploys.

What You Can Do With Snipe-IT

Know who holds which laptop
Check devices out to people and back in when they leave, so IT can answer who has a given laptop and when it was bought without opening a spreadsheet.
Track software licenses with the hardware
Keep licence records in the same inventory as the machines they are installed on, so renewals and audits start from one list rather than two.
Prepare for an audit with a change history
Use audit history to show what happened to an asset and when, with the records held in a database on your own Cloud VPS instead of a vendor's account.
Depreciate equipment correctly
Record purchase dates against each asset so finance and IT work from the same figures when equipment is depreciated or retired.

Snipe-IT vs Alternatives

ServiceNow asset management: If you are weighing ServiceNow for asset tracking, Snipe-IT's README describes a focused FOSS inventory for IT operations, which you run yourself under the AGPL v3 on a single Cloud VPS.
Asset Panda: If you track assets in Asset Panda today, Snipe-IT is the self-hosted route: asset, licence and audit records sit in a MariaDB database on a server you control, and the AGPL v3 software has no licence fee.
GLPI: GLPI has its own xCloud page. Snipe-IT focuses on asset, licence and accessory tracking with check-in and check-out and audit history.
Homebox: Homebox has its own xCloud page. Snipe-IT is built for IT operations, with software licence handling, check-in and check-out workflows and audit history.

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How much RAM does Snipe-IT need?

Snipe-IT and its MariaDB database share a manifest floor of 1 CPU core, 2048 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk. The 6 GB Cloud VPS this page sells sits above that floor, leaving room for the database to grow with your inventory and attachments.

Is Snipe-IT free and open source?

Yes. The Snipe-IT repository carries the GNU Affero General Public License v3 at the v8.7.2 tag, and its README calls it a FOSS project. There is no licence fee; xCloud bills for the dedicated Cloud VPS, and your inventory stays in your own volumes.

Can you self-host Snipe-IT with Docker?

Yes, and this is Snipe-IT Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs the snipe/snipe-it v8.7.2 image beside mariadb:11.8.3, both pinned by immutable digest, with snipeit_data and snipeit_db volumes and HTTPS on your domain, so you never write the compose file.

What does Snipe-IT need to run?

Upstream describes a web application built on Laravel that runs on a web server and database. On xCloud the template supplies both: the application container and a private MariaDB 11.8.3 container with no published port, plus a generated application key and database credentials.

How do I sign in the first time?

There is no generated admin account. Open your HTTPS URL and complete the Snipe-IT setup wizard to create the first administrator. Do it right after install, because whoever reaches the wizard first creates that account, and keep the APP_KEY stable afterwards.

What should I back up on a Snipe-IT server?

A backup is the snipeit_data and snipeit_db volumes together, since records and uploads depend on both. Keep the generated APP_KEY with them: it protects encrypted application data, so losing it can leave that data unreadable. Test a restore before you need one.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Snipe-IT?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins Snipe-IT v8.7.2 by immutable digest. Copy both volumes, work through the upstream release notes, then adopt a newer template version when one is published, and check sign-in and a sample asset afterwards.

How do I rotate the database password?

Change the MariaDB account inside the database first, then update the matching application and database values in the Environment editor and Save & Redeploy. Editing DB_PASSWORD or MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD alone does not rotate an existing MariaDB account.

Is this Snipe-IT cloud hosting?

It is your own Snipe-IT on a dedicated Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, not an account on the vendor's hosted service. The application, the MariaDB database and both volumes belong to your install, and the site is served over HTTPS on your domain.

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS rather than a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside Snipe-IT as long as the server has the resources for them.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
