Overview
This AMI runs a self-hosted IT asset management application with MariaDB on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. You track hardware, software licences, accessories and consumables, assign them to people and locations, and keep an audit trail, with labels and a REST API. Version 8.8.3 is pinned and pre-installed in the AMI.
What Perimattic adds
Administrator created for you: a random 24-character password is generated on your server and the one administrator account, using the email you enter, is created during first-login setup, before the site is published. The setup screen is completed for you and then closed, and sign-up is off. Apache provides HTTPS with a free Let's Encrypt certificate for your domain.
Limits you should know
No mail server is configured, so email alerts and password-reset messages are not available until you add one. Avatars are not loaded from outside services. An API call without a JSON Accept header gets an error page instead of a JSON error, and data is still refused. A t3.small (2 GB) is the recommended starting size.
Licence and attribution
Built on the open-source Snipe-IT (AGPL-3.0). The image is unmodified and contains no separately licensed or paid components; the source is at github.com/grokability/snipe-it. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Grokability, Inc.; Snipe-IT is a trademark of its owner. MariaDB Server is released under GPL-2.0.
Getting Started Launch the AMI and open ports 22, 80 and 443 in the security group SSH in and answer the setup prompts (domain and admin email) Open https://your-domain and sign in as admin with the password printed at the end of setup Add locations, categories and models, then your assets
A domain name with an A record pointing at the instance is required, because the site is served over HTTPS.
This AMI is built and supported by Perimattic.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Initial release.
- Application: IT Asset Management 8.8.3 (container image pinned, baked into the AMI).
- Base: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched at build time, built by an automated EC2 Image Builder pipeline.
- TLS: Apache reverse proxy with a Let's Encrypt certificate requested by certbot at first login.
- Credentials are generated on the instance at first login; none are present in the image.
- The application's first-run setup is completed during first-login setup, before the site is published: a random 24-character administrator password is generated on the instance, the setup pages are closed, and setup verifies that the password works, that wrong and default logins and a stranger's setup request are refused, that exactly one account exists and that anonymous API calls are refused.
- Application: upstream IT asset management application 8.8.3 (AGPL-3.0, unmodified official image, Apache variant) with MariaDB 11.8.9 (both pinned). The application key and OAuth keys are generated per instance; cookies are secure; Gravatar loading is off; the application sends no usage report. See the product description for the licence and attribution notice.
- No SMTP is configured; there is no sign-up page. The health and login pages are public by design.
- Database: reachable only inside the Docker network.
Additional details
Usage instructions
-
Launch an Instance
From AWS Marketplace, click Continue to Subscribe and then Continue to Configuration to launch the AMI.
-
Choose the Recommended Instance Type
t3.small (2 GB of memory) is the recommended starting size: the application used about 200 MB and MariaDB about 150 MB in our tests. Choose t3.medium or larger for large inventories or many users.
-
Configure Security Group
Allow inbound traffic on the following ports:
- 22 (SSH) - terminal access for setup
- 80 (HTTP) - needed to validate your domain for the TLS certificate
- 443 (HTTPS) - access to IT Asset Management
-
Point a domain at the instance
Create a DNS A record (for example assets.example.com) pointing to the instance's public IP before you log in.
-
Connect to the Instance
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
-
First-Login Setup
The first SSH login runs a guided setup:
- Prompts for your domain and admin email and checks the DNS A record
- Generates a random 24-character administrator password, two database passwords and the application key on your server
- Starts MariaDB and the application and completes the application's first-run setup on the loopback port (administrator and settings together)
- Checks that the setup pages are closed, that the password works, that wrong and default logins and a stranger's setup request are refused and that anonymous API calls are refused
- Configures Apache as an HTTPS reverse proxy and requests a Let's Encrypt certificate
- Prints the URL and the administrator credentials; they are also stored in /opt/app/access.txt (root only)
If a step fails, fix the problem shown and log in again: the setup resumes where it stopped.
-
Access IT Asset Management
Open https://<your-domain> and sign in as admin with the generated password (view it again with: sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt). Add locations, categories and models, then your assets.
-
Credentials
Generated on your server, never shared between customers. View them again with:
sudo cat /opt/app/access.txt
-
Manage the Services
cd /opt/app sudo docker compose ps sudo docker compose restart
Uploads, backups and OAuth keys are in /opt/app/data and the database in /opt/app/mariadb: back up all of /opt/app (APP_KEY in /opt/app/.env encrypts stored values and must be kept with it) or snapshot the volume before upgrades. No email can be sent until you add SMTP settings in /opt/app/docker-compose.yml; EC2 blocks outbound port 25, so use 587 or 465. The health and login pages are public by design. If you are locked out and email is not set up, access.txt shows how to add a rescue administrator on the server. This listing relies on factual use of the upstream name in the attribution notice only; the product is not affiliated with its vendor.
