Is this still relevant? We haven't heard from anyone in a bit. If so, please comment with any updates or additional detail.

As far as i can see, the schedule:run don't sync LDAP users.
https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/blob/master/app/Console/Kernel.php#L20-L28
But creating a cron job with php artisan snipeit:ldap-sync should work.

It would be nice to have an auto-sync-interval or enable-daily-sync in the LDAP settings that adds the LDAP sync to the scheduler jobs.

Okay, it looks like this issue or feature request might still be important. We'll re-open it for now. Thank you for letting us know!

I'm running Snipe-IT inside docker. If I go inside docker-compose exec snipeit sh, then go to cd /var/www/html and run php artisan snipeit:ldap-sync, nothing happens. It returns 0 code, it's done in a second.
If I push LDAP-SYNC in the website, it takes 3-4 seconds and does the thing.

What am I doing wrong?

Obviously, I need to make the cron work but even the simple command doesn't work for me and I'm not sure why...

@SonGokussj4 Did you run as user docker?
docker-compose exec -u docker snipeit ...

For those in need in the future.

--json_summary (which is not in official docs) really helped. --summary returned nothing and the exit code was 0

root@b31c2763ad96:/var/www/html# php artisan snipeit:ldap-sync --json_summary
{
    "error":true,
    "error_message":"Your app key has changed! Could not decrypt LDAP password using your current app key, so LDAP authentication has been disabled. Login with a local account, update the LDAP password and re-enable it in Admin > Settings.",
    "summary":[]
}

After some googling I found out I have to have API_KEY inside my .env file, so:

# docker-compose.yml
services:
  snipeit:
    image: linuxserver/snipe-it:6.0.11
...
    env_file: .env
    volumes:
        - ./app_data:/config
...

1. Grabbed API_KEY value from app_data/SNIPE_IT_APP_KEY.txt
2. Added API_KEY=<value> into .env
3. docker-compose down ; docker-compose up -d

Then the manual command works:

cd /my/snipeit_folder
docker-compose exec snipeit php /var/www/html/artisan snipeit:ldap-sync --json_summary

After some hickups, I've successfully ran a cronjob

• need to cd into the docker folder
• need to update PATH to know about docker-compose
• need to run exec with -T parameter

$ crontab -e

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
# min   hour    day     month   weekday command
0       1       *       *       *       cd /my/snipeit_folder && docker-compose exec -T snipeit php /var/www/html/artisan snipeit:ldap-sync --json_summary > ldap_sync_log.json

Hope this helps someone.

Edit (2023-07-26): Artisan is newly in /app/www/artisan

You could also use something like Ofelia and add some labels to the snipeit service to run the sync job.

Wow! AwesomeI didn't know about this one.

[SonGokussj4]

Just a note for anyone on version 6.1.2 - something changed.
Artisan is not in the /var/www/html/artisan but newly /app/www/artisan.

[ksgrg]

Anyone using v6.3.2
It will be the following /var/www/html/snipeit/artisan
If you have used Ubuntu and the SnipeIT Installer

0 */6 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/snipeit/artisan snipeit:ldap-sync >> /dev/null 2>&1
