How to Install Snipe-IT on Your UGREEN NAS

Snipe-IT is a free, open source IT asset management system written in PHP. Snipe-IT was made for IT asset management, to enable IT departments to track who has which laptop, when it was purchased, which software licenses and accessories are available, and so on. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Snipe-IT on your UGREEN NAS using Docker and Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Snipe-IT v8.3.7 release.

💡Note: Check out my guide on how to Install Snipe-IT on Your Synology NAS.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
