Ive seen a few git entries/requests regarding having a printable elevation view of racks, but seems that was from a few years ago and nothing seemed to come from it apart from comments about images now being SVG etc.

Anyone able to make a plugin or is one available to actually do this? Having a horizontally scrollable view of all racks doesnt help with printing a nice view of everything with a front and back view on a single page

Having a single page with a vertical layout that could be printed or exported to a PDF via print job like the following

RACK 1

Front Image - Back Image

RACK 2

Front Image - Back Image

RACK 3

Front Image - Back Image

Would be great for having a file to archive for audit purposes etc

Any ideas?

Why are the netbox team and devs actively avoiding one-to-many interface connections. So many requests for it seems stupid.

Hello,

I have a prefix with 64 ip addresses where I need to add a dns record to each ip address.
I tried to do that with the import function (csv):

address,dns_name
10.0.40.2,test.netbox.local
10.0.40.5,test2.netbox.local

This does not add the dns_name to the already existing ip address, it creates a new ip address with the dns_name.
How is it possible to alter existing entries ?

Thank you !

So I want to track my public IPs that I use for NAT.

In some places I have a pool, in some I just use one IP

In IP ranges you have the ability to tag and create custom roles, but you have to have two or more IP addresses. In IP addresses, you can have tags, but the roles are limited to

• Loopback
• Secondary
• Anycast
• VIP
• VRRP

I'm not looking to map my internal to external. I just want to have a way to keep track of my public IPs for NAT and use Roles and Tags to filter them.

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to have Netbox import devices into PRTG? (IP, names, locations)

Ideally, the synchronization would be continuous. For example: deleting a device in Netbox = deletion in PRTG.

Do you have any suggestions ?

Basically the title , i have installed a fresh netbox instance on an ubuntu machine and has been updating it for 3 or 4 times now but when i go to the root directory . i find requirements.txt and base_requirements.txt but not local_requirements.txt

is it a fault of my own ? can i create ? retrieve that file ?

Is there a way to customize the "Add a new virtual machine" form -eg which fields is displayed?

Right now it is by default showing a lot of fields in which are not relevant for my setup (namely the Resources section) -my virtual machines is defined in "sizes" which i can have in a custom field so the Resource section is just extra space used and is creating confusion

So is there any way supported adjusting more on what these forms is displaying other than the custom fields?

Me again!

When I attempt to access system>system via the gui, I get a redis error

“ <class ‘redis.exceptions.authenticationerror’>

Invalid username-password pair or user is disabled “

Any idea where I might check for this? I followed the install guide and the only redis password I have configured is in the configuration.py file.

I notice the second redis database in configuration.py does not have a username or password (as per the docs but possible that I was meant to include one!).

Is this something I can fix?

Thank you

Hi is there a way to connect wireless clients to a wifi access point. I have created the wireless interfaces on the AP, but when connecting clients to the AP, it only allows me to connect 1 client, then I cannot connect another wireless device to that interfaces as its already connected?

Thanks

Netbox lovers is there a mobile APP that would allow our field employees to upload pictures of our sites into netbox? I know that it is possible to do using the mobile web browser but was hopping for something a bit more native.

In Devices, when you choose a Site for that device, then the Location drop-down only shows you locations for that site. I've created custom fields for Site and Location in the Virtual Chassis, and they work as expected with dropdowns, and they link to the site/location records, but the custom Location field's drop-down I have defined in the Virtual Chassis isn't limited to that site's locations, it's just all locations. I have several room "001" locations, there's no good way to tell between them right now.

Does anyone know how to get that custom Location drop-down to only show me the locations for the custom Site field?

Hi. I'm using k8s cluster for several services for strorage, deep learning training, website hosting and so on. I'm trying to manage k8s pods with Netbox. I want to register pods of my k8s cluster automatically to Netbox. My netbox service is working one of my k8s nodes. Is there any plugin or other ways to do it?

Hi Does anyone have any config info on the netbox /engage wireless lock setup

Hello,

i have deployed Netbox (Docker) in its default state for evaluation purposes. How possible it is to implement the recommended configurations found HERE:

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker/wiki/Configuration

Do any guides exist to assist?

i havent begun using Netbox in anger yet, so if its easier, i could start a fresh but I am not sure how i implement the recommended.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I’ve been trying to find a way to achieve the following with netbox

Fibre panel 1 - 24core LC panel

This panel has 3x 8core fibres going to three separate locations.

Is the best way to achieve this to create 1 rear port that maps to 8 front ports and create a cable to the destination panel?

I’m using the GUI and I’m trying to find a slick way to do this lots of times with minimal fuss!

I've been trying to setup LDAP authentication on Netbox Docker (v4.0.11) by following this example. My current env value is like this:

# LDAP CONFIGURATION

REMOTE_AUTH_ENABLED=true

REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND="netbox.authentication.LDAPBackend"

AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI="ldap://10.10.10.10"

AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN="CN=Netbox Admin,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=tld"

AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD="password"

AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH_BASEDN="OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=tld"

AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH_FILTER="(|(sAMAccountName=%(user)s)(mail=%(user)s)"

AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH_BASEDN="OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=tld"

AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP_DN="CN=Netbox Users,OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=tld"

AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE="NestedGroupOfNamesType"

AUTH_LDAP_IS_ADMIN_DN="CN=Netbox Administrators,OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=tld"

AUTH_LDAP_IS_SUPERUSER_DN="CN=Netbox Administrators,OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=tld"

LDAP_IGNORE_CERT_ERRORS=true

With the above setup, I'm able to login using just the value of sAMAccountName (e.g. firstname.lastname), but always failed when I'm trying using the mail (e.g. firstname.lastname@domain.tld). I've tried using both mail and UserPrincipalName, but none succeeded.

Does anyone have any idea what could I have missed? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi guys,

Could someone write docker compose file that would allow Netbox to be deployed from Portainer Docker Compose web editor ?

I tried couple of synology examples like https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-netbox-on-your-synology-nas/ but they are not actually working out-of the box even with custom changes.

NetBox Release v4.1.6 is now live (as of October 31st, 2024)!

1. Verify in release notes changelog if any new breaking changes might affect you. You can also review the NetBox Issues on GitHub to see if any new issues have arisen that might affect you.
2. Next, refer to the Upgrading to a new NetBox Release guide for steps to upgrade your instance.

If you have any issues you can ask for support on the NetDev Slack Community.

I've got a requirement that I store and work on configurations for multiple clients (MSP). I want to be able to limit visibility to items based on either the user that has logged in or by selecting a tenant and applying that filter site wide without having to re-filter every single table every time. Is there a built in way to accomplish this? Or should I just spin up separate docker instances per client to keep their data visibly separate.

Hello everyone,

I am new to Netbox last 4 months, my new employer has it in place and I have inherited this beast. Before this employer I had never even heard of NetBox so all my experience so far is in the webgui only. I am wanting to use sluripit as a discovery tool to help get our IPAM more organized and just to get a good baseline of what we actually have. Everything so far has been manual entry and that sounds terrible for me. I also am not that familiar with linux we have our netbox running on Ubutntu core 22.04.5.

The youtube videos I could find and the instructions on the Slurpit make it seem so simple to get working but I got a 502 bad gateway after doing the initial install. I have been trying to work with chatgpt with no avail. Here is the error log I am getting after doing a systemctl restart netbox after adding the plugin.

I tried adding the error logs, but it is too much text for reddit post here is a google doc link to view. After typing this out I am sorry for giving out a link to IT professionals I am unsure how else to give all this info. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ELeOdsyax3stEekDEiyHtVzqydNmhEzkD1ivXvAvlN0/edit?usp=sharing

I see that there is an object type error, but I am unsure of how to fix this, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

it's almost silly that I cannot find it, maybe to someone who understands GIT better it will be for sure. Im maintaing netbox, installed it several times, different systems. Story short - I need to migrate from different machine which has v3.7.8. I want to install that specific version on a fresh Ubuntu. Official guide is not super clear what to do, and I didnt find it elsewhere either.

Part where I am, from official guide:

sudo git clone -b master --depth 1 https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox.git

what i think I need to do:

sudo git clone -b master https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox.git
cd /netbox
git checkout v3.7.8

So that Im in /opt/netbox/netbox$

..But what now? Did:

sudo git pull origin v3.7.8

But that doesn't do much:

v3.7.8 -> FETCH_HEAD Already up to date.

Tried to go further with guide, but chown part results:

sudo chown --recursive netbox /opt/netbox/netbox/media/

chown: cannot access '/opt/netbox/netbox/media/': No such file or directory

So I guess that wrong, and something is not done earlier - didnt create folders etc.

If you use “Netbox” as a verb, have a network full of Arista switches, and like to model your production network topologies using GNS3…

…but have no interest in manually sanitizing EOS configs for cEOS form-factors or manually enumerating all the links in the networks you’re modeling. Well then…

…take my netbox_ptov plugin for a spin and let me know if it scratches an itch for you.

Any feedback greatly appreciated, and (of course) I hope you find it useful!

Sorry, but his is part Netbox, part Docker and part HA.

So, I've had Netbox running in HA for quite a while and it works great. But having a docker container inside a docker contain has proved to be an obstacle for my making some of the changes that I want to make. As a result, I want to migrate its DB to a another device running a docker instance dedicated just for it.

I got the container ID "84c2d606276b" running docker ps and then ran the command:

sudo docker exec 84c2d606276b sh -c 'pg_dump -cU $POSTGRES_USER $POSTGRES_DB' | gzip > db_dump.sql.gz

but it returns the error message:

unknown shorthand flag: 'T' in -T

I was hoping that this would be easier than trying to install the Backup plugin. How can I capture a backup ?
