After installation I loaded up the URL, set the language and ran environment checks. Now I have to go through the output and make sure I’m cool with the warnings and such. I’m guessing I need to fix the permissions issue first, lol.

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R glpi for the permissions. The rest don’t look that serious since I don’t have the thing accessible from the web, but I may revisit.
DB
Next step is the DB config. I could just feed it the root password to my mysql server, but I’m going to create a user just for this DB.
mysql> CREATE USER 'glpi_db'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '********';
mysql> GRANT CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, REFERENCES, RELOAD on *.* TO 'glpi_db'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
I don’t often get to do the rest with a GUI!

It created the DB without error. A couple other generic questions and a sales pitch and we’re done.
App config

After signing in we get this nice little message so I gotta change some passwords to get rid of all that red.
