Guide: Update SnipeIT​

Step 1: Navigate to the Code Directory​

Change to the directory where your SnipeIT code is located.

cd /var/www/snipeit/

Step 2: Handle Code Changes​

If there are any changes to the code, save the modified files. Run the following bash commands to discard changes before pulling the new code:

git fetch origin main # Fetch the latest changes from the repository
sudo -u www-data git pull # Pull the latest code to your machine
sudo -u www-data git checkout tags/v6.4.2 # Select the desired version to upgrade (using tags)

Step 3: Update File and Folder Permissions​

Ensure the correct permissions are set for the SnipeIT code files and folders:

sudo chown -R snipeitapp:www-data /var/www/html/snipeit

Step 4: Clear Cache and Reconfigure​

Clear the cache and run the necessary configuration commands:

sudo -u www-data php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
sudo -u www-data php composer.phar dump-autoload
sudo -u www-data php artisan migrate
sudo -u www-data php artisan config:clear
sudo -u www-data php artisan route:clear
sudo -u www-data php artisan cache:clear
sudo -u www-data php artisan view:clear
