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. Iā€™ve been using it for a couple of years now to keep track of my own growing collection of devices, software licenses, and network gear at home. What started as a simple way to stop losing track of which laptop had which warranty quickly became indispensable. Now I can see at a glance who *owns* what, when something is due for replacement, and which licenses are still available. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Snipe-ITĀ on your UGREEN NAS using Docker and Dockhand.

šŸ’”Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Snipe-IT v8.8.0 release.

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

Iā€™ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I donā€™t run any ADS, I donā€™t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I donā€™t collect IPs, emails, and I donā€™t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also donā€™t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community.
