GLPI

GLPI stands for Gestion Libre de Parc Informatique. It’s a cool, open-source software that runs on any platform and is totally free! Built using PHP and JavaScript, it’s designed to help you manage your information resources like a champ. Think of it as a super handy tool for keeping track of everything in your company—like computers, printers, and software.

What Makes GLPI Awesome?

This application comes packed with features that make life easier for system administrators. One standout feature is its job-tracking system, which lets you build a database with simple details about your network setup. Plus, you'll get email notifications to keep you updated!

Create Detailed Inventories

With GLPI, your business can create accurate inventories of all your tech resources. You’ll have all the info stored neatly in databases, making management super easy. It even helps with keeping track of procedures and maintenance actions so nothing slips through the cracks.

How to Get Started with GLPI

The magic behind this software lies in JavaScript and PHP. To set up GLPI on your server, just download the latest version from Softpas or its official site (check out the link below). Save the file on your computer, unzip it using an archive manager you like, and then upload those files to your web server's root or a specific folder if you want it integrated with an existing site.

Database Requirements

This app uses MySQL as its database server to store everything from configurations to data. So before diving into the installation of GLPI, make sure you've got MySQL set up on your web server. Once that's done, head over to the /install directory on your server to kick off the built-in installer script!
