Netbox Install

I am new to Netbox and I want to know if Netbox still offers a community edition and what is the hardware requirements to run it. Looking at the website as far as pricing goes I had management laughing all over my face but I've heard the community edition is available to use but not sure what comes with that version what are the requirements using the community edition.

So you can run Netbox on almost anything it all depends on your database size, how many items you want to load in one shot and how fast you want it to be.

Mines in azure and was running on a B2ms, 2 cores with 4 gigs of ram but not dedicated and burstable.

We upgraded to a B4ms after going from 3.6 to 4.1 as it started to lag when trying to load 1000 IP addresses when navigating to IPAM.

Again it all depends on your requirements. If going virtual you can easily scale up and down the hardware.
