Snipe-IT hosting in the EU

Snipe-IT: track who has which laptop, licence or asset, with a tag and history for every item. On blitz.cloud you install it from the App Store in one click. It gets its own address with HTTPS, 2 GB of storage and the MariaDB it needs, and it runs on servers in the EU. You can run it on the free plan, without a credit card.

A self-hosted alternative to Asset Panda and Lansweeper

Snipe-IT does the job of Asset Panda or Lansweeper, but it is your own copy: your data sits in your app, not in somebody else's account, and nobody changes the price or the rules on you. Self-hosting usually means renting a server and keeping it patched. Here the App Store sets it up and keeps it running.

What it needs

Install it

1. Start the install of Snipe-IT. Without an account you create one with Google, GitHub or your email.
2. Pick your address, like yourname.blitz.cloud. The app's page in the App Store opens right after.
3. Click Install. It lists what gets created, the database included, and is online about a minute later, at an address like snipe.yourname.blitz.cloud.
4. Open the app's address; the pre-flight check runs first, then the setup wizard makes your admin account.

Deploy button for your README
