For inventory, a simple spreadsheet is all they need. If you want a "system" I would recommend Snipe-IT. It can be complicated or simple depending on how much you want to store.

Setup a Fedora 26 minimal instance.

dnf -y install wget
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
chmod 744 install.sh
./install.sh

Snipe-IT is definitely the "go to" inventory app once you moved based the spreadshoot point.

@jaredbusch Just an FYI, I just installed Fedora 26 minimal and ran a dnf update before getting started. wget package is already included so once less thing needed to do to get this running.

Addtionally, the built-in web interface for Fedora is legit. Didn't know that thing existed.

If you actually installed minimal, then no, wget is not installed.

If you look at this post, I detail the correct way to install minimal from ISO.

The key bit from that is this step. You probably selected the Standard add on there.

That is Cockpit, and it most certainly is not part of a minimal install.

@zachary715 There is nothing wrong with a non-minimal install, but all of my instructions always assume that as a base, known, configuration.

@jaredbusch Interesting. I should have realized minimal shouldn't include those options, but I just downloaded the .iso from their website and installed what it referenced as "minimal install" with no extras. I didn't have near the options though as your screenshots above. Downloading the Netinstall version now to give it a go.

Here's what the DVD ISO gave me as options...

And now that I look again it doesn't say "Minimal" but I just didn't select any add-ons.

Thanks

@zachary715 No problem. But as I said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the server install that you had. I simply always just do instructions from minimal. I never assume a person has anything more than that.
