NixOS 22.05 will have a module for Snipe-IT, but it's incompatible to
our implementation and the snipe-it package is currently still at 5.x.
So we'll keep our module around and disable the upstream module when
our's is used. This will give users of our module a chance to migrate
to upstream and upstream a change to update the package to 6.x.
We only used phpPackage for artisan script but not for the actual PHPFPM
instance running the service. This didn't cause any harm as long as the
default PHP instance was php74 but with the switch to php80 this should
be corrected, as Snipe-IT isn't compatible with 8.0.
Since Laravel, the PHP framework used by Snipe-IT in general supports PostgreSQL
and other database systems, there was a slight hope that it would just work™,
even though Snipe-IT itself officially only supports MySQL. Turns out it
doesn't.
SQLite seems to work fine so far.
