OCSInventory allows you to collect hardware and software inventory from all active devices on the network, such as computers, switches, routers, network printers and unattended devices. It Supports for multiple operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, * BSD, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX, MacOS X. It has the ability to support Plugins and integrates seamlessly with GLPI.

So, let us start.

Install OCS Inventory Server on CentOS 8

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation of the OCS Inventory, it is necessary to install and configure some applications.

So, open a terminal or SSH connection and add the EPEL and REMI repositories.

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

Install the dnf-utils package to use other dnf features.

dnf install dnf-utils

And enable the powertools repository which we will need as well:

dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

Now yes, install Apache, MariaDB, and PHP along with some modules that are dependencies of OCS Inventory

dnf install httpd mariadb-server php php php-curl php-zip php-gd php-soap php-xml php-mbstring php-fpm unzip curl

Next, start the httpd, php-fpm and MariaDB services

systemctl start httpd mariadb php-fpm
systemctl enable httpd mariadb php-fpm

Of course, you have to configure MariaDB with the mysql_secure_installation script to define a password for the root user.

mysql_secure_installation

Remove anonymous users? Y
Disallow root login remotely? Y
Remove test database and access to it? Y
Reload privilege tables now? Y

Then open the ports in the firewall necessary for Apache to work.

firewall-cmd --add-port=80/tcp --zone=public --permanent
success
firewall-cmd --add-port=443/tcp --zone=public --permanent
success
firewall-cmd --reload
success

Now create the database, the user, and its permissions so that it can be used by OCS Inventory

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE ocsweb;
GRANT ALL ON ocsweb.* TO 'ocs'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'ocspss';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit;

After this, we can start the installation.

Download and install OCS Inventory

Now we will be able to perform the installation. First, install the PERL modules that the system has:

dnf install make gcc perl-Archive-Zip perl-Compress-Zlib perl-DBD-MySQL perl-DBI perl-Mojolicious perl-Net-IP perl-Plack perl-SOAP-Lite perl-Switch perl-XML-Entities perl-XML-Simple perl-Apache-DBI perl-Digest-SHA1 perl-Apache2-SOAP

Next, add the OCS Inventory repository for CentOS 8

dnf install https://rpm.ocsinventory-ng.org/ocsinventory-release-latest.el8.ocs.noarch.rpm

And finally, install it by running:

dnf install ocsinventory

Once installed, it is necessary to copy the sample database into the database we have created:

mysql -u root -p ocsweb < /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports/files/ocsbase.sql

Now, enable the rewrite modules in Apache by editing its configuration file:

nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

At the end of the document, add the following:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Apply the changes, restarting the Apache service:

systemctl restart httpd

Now we can complete the installation.

Using OCS Inventory

The next step is to open your preferred web browser and access http://your-server/ocsreports/install.php.

Note: replace your-server with the IP address of the server or domain.

You should see the database configuration screen. Type the parameters.

So, You will then see a screen informing you that the database connection was successful.

Next, update the database version by clicking on the Perform the update button and you will see this message

Then the login screen

Then, Log in with the default credentials admin/admin and now you have the OCS Inventory server ready.

Conclusion

So, OCSInventory is a great application that we can take full advantage of in an organization, whether it is small or large. Well, today you have learned to install it on a computer with CentOS 8.

Odoo is an open source integrated ERP system currently produced by the Belgian company Odoo S.A.

In the first place, what is a ERP? The ERP (Enterprise resource planning) systems are management information systems that integrate and manage many of the businesses associated with production operations and distribution aspects of a company engaged in the production of goods or services. In short, it is a administration system.

Some Odoo modules include inventory management, finance, administration, sales and more. In addition, you can activate the modules developed by community only necessaries for your organization ensuring the proper and efficient functioning of it.

Odoo is compatible with Linux and today i will install it on Debian. It’s easy.

0. Prerequisites

To install Odoo 12 on Debian 9 does not require high knowledge of Linux but a basic knowledge of terminal use. In addition to a user who can run commands as root user.

Under those circumstances, it is convenient to add that, Odoo requires PostgreSQL and Python 3.5.

Let’s start.

1. Upgrade the system

Before starting the installation of applications on our server, it is convenient to update all packages. This in order to have all the security patches and with them make the system more secure and stable. Run:

:~$ su
:~# apt update && apt upgrade

With this you will have Debian updated.

2. Install PostgreSQL

Odoo uses PostgreSQL as a database handler. Fortunately it is found in the official Debian repositories so its installation is easy.

:~# apt install postgresql

Once the installation is finished you have to enable the service so that it starts as soon as the system boots.

:~# systemctl enable postgresql

Then, you can check the status of the service.

:~# systemctl status postgresql

As you can see, PostgreSQL has been installed.

3. Install Odoo

By default, Odoo is not in the official Debain 9 repositories, so add its external repository to install it via APT. It is the fastest, easiest and most efficient way to install Odoo. First, run:

:~# wget -O - https://nightly.odoo.com/odoo.key | apt-key add -

Then,

:~# echo "deb http://nightly.odoo.com/12.0/nightly/deb/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/odoo.list

Now, refresh the APT package list:

:~# apt update

Finally install Odoo:

:~# apt install odoo

At the end of the installation it is convenient to check the status of the service, to check that it is running.

:~# sytemctl status odoo

As can been noted, everything is OK.

4.- Access from the web browser

At this point, you can access the web interface, however, you need to configure a last point. The password of the user. Open /etc/odoo/odoo.conf file.

:~# nano /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

And set your admin password.

Now, restart the odoo service.

:~# systemctl restart odoo

Finally, you can access from the web browser. Go to http://IP_SERVER:8069. And you will see this.

Enter all the requirements they ask you and click on Create Database Button.

Remeber the password is the same that you defined on odoo.conf file.

After that, you will see the screen where you can install the modules that make up the system.

All that’s left is for you to install the modules you need and enjoy it.

Conclusion

Odoo is a great flexible system that allows you to install modules that work independently but together form a powerful tool for your company.

We want to hear from you, have you used Odoo? Do you like Odoo? Do you know another ERP? Did this tutorial help you?

Inventories are tangible goods held for sale in the ordinary course of business or to be consumed in the production of goods or services for subsequent marketing.

It’s usually a tedious process carried out manually, but thanks to the efforts of some developers, it’s possible to do it automatically and efficiently with OCSInventory.

OCSInventory allows you to collect hardware and software inventory from all active devices on the network, such as computers, switches, routers, network printers and unattended devices. It Supports for multiple operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, * BSD, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX, MacOS X. It has the ability to support Plugins and integrates seamlessly with GLPI.

Let’s install it!!

First of all we must be root users. We open a terminal and write:

sudo -i

After entering the password we will be root users. Then we installed LAMP Stack.

apt install apache2 php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-cli php7.2-common php7.2-cgi mariadb-server mariadb-client php7.2-mysql mariadb-common

Once the installation of the packages is finished we will have a basic web server. Now we proceed to install basic compilation packages.

 apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential

Next we must install some perl modules needed.

apt install libxml-simple-perl libcompress-raw-zlib-perl libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libapache-dbi-perl libnet-ip-perl libsoap-lite-perl

Now we write:

cpan -i XML::Entities

We install other necessary php modules.

apt install php7.2-gd php-pclzip

We now proceed to download the OSCInventory.

wget https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/OCSInventory-ocsreports/releases/download/2.4.1/OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER_2.4.1.tar.gz

Now we unzip the archive.

tar -xvzf OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER_2.4.1.tar.gz

Now we rename the folder, and move it to our apache root directory:

mv OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER_2.4.1 /var/www/html/OCS

Before starting the installation, we installed other necessary php modules.

apt install php7.2-soap php7.2-curl php7.2-xml php7.2-xmlrpc

Now we enter the directory and run the setup.sh script

cd /var/www/html/OCS

and:

sh setup.sh

Running it will ask us many questions about configuration file locations, executable files and check the installed PERL modules. In the end, if everything went well, we should get the message that the installation was successful.

Before running its web interface, we must copy the apache configuration that the installer creates as a new apache site.

a2enconf ocsinventory-reports

a2enconf z-ocsinventory-server

Finally, we make sure we have permissions on the /var/lib/ocsinventory-reports/ folder and we restart apache.

<strong>chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/ocsinventory-reports/
chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/OCS/*
systemctl restart apache2
</strong>

Accessing the web interface

Now we can access the web interface from our browser:

http://localhost/OCS/ocsreports

Note: Remember that the path might be different, so it is important to be careful about assigning folder names.

As we can notice, we skip the warning that we can’t build larger 2mb packages, so we must modify that value in the PHP configuration file.

nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

We will modify the parameters: upload_max_filesize and post_max_size

And we restart Apache:

systemctl restart apache2

When accessing again, we notice that the warning continues but 250mb is a suitable value that should not cause problems.

When you click on send, it will take a while to complete the installation and then inform us that we can access with user admin and password admin

By clicking on the link below, we can then log in.

Then when you log in, and check that everything is OK, we must remove the installer. As a recommendation you should change the password for mariadb.

Now we would have to install the agent in each of the computers that we want to inventory.

As a conclusion we can say that OCSInventory is an interesting application in the world of organizations that allows us to have an updated and reliable inventory of all our computer equipment.
