Noteworthy Changes

This release fixes some bugs and introduces compatibility with Netbox 2.10.x.

Compatibility with Netbox v2.10.x #342

This version of Netbox Docker is compatible with Netbox v2.10.x.

🚨 Upgrading from Earlier Versions? Read this! ⚠️

When you upgrade from earlier versions, you must run a manual command and – if you use our initializers – adjust the structure of their YAML. Read on!

First, if you use the cable traces feature of Netbox, then you will have to run a separate command because of changes in the internal structure of the upstream project. Run this command to migrate the DB and fix the missing links in cable paths:

docker-compose run --rm netbox ./manage.py trace_paths

Second, a change in how Custom Fields are handled in upstream Netbox breaks compatibility with older versions.
Please apply these two changes to your initializer YAML files:

• Rename custom_fields to custom_field_data in every domain object (e.g. site.yml)

    - name: AMS 1
      slug: ams1
      region: Downtown
      status: active
      facility: Amsterdam 1
      asn: 12345
  -   custom_fields:
  +   custom_field_data:
        text_field: Description for AMS1

• Change the choices array for select custom fields in custom_fields.yml like this:

    legacy_select_field:
      type: select
      on_objects:
      - dcim.models.Device
      choices:
  -   - value: First Item
  -     weight: 10
  -   - value: Second Item
  -     weight: 20
  -   - value: Third Item
  -     weight: 30
  +   - First Item
  +   - Second Item
  +   - Third Item

Netbox Docker is mirrored to Quay.io #369

Netbox Docker will from now on be pushed to quay.io/netboxcommunity/netbox as well.
You can pull and use it like so:

docker pull quay.io/netboxcommunity/netbox:latest

This offers a fallback should Docker Hub not be available or should you have reached a usage limit of some sorts.

Fix LDAP configuration not applied #354

From now on, unless AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP is declared, no group-related requests will be made to LDAP server. This change is required for compatibility with Google's Secure LDAP service.

Upgrade Python image to 3.9-alpine #348

We updated the underlying Python version to 3.9.

Note: Since we're planing to move from python:3.9-alpine to alpine:3.x images we may downgrade to Python 3.8 again in the future. Please follow the PR #361.

New SESSIONS_ROOT environment variable #356

There is a new environment variable, SESSIONS_ROOT, that controls Django's SESSIONS_FILE_PATH.

Fix TypeError when using LOGIN_TIMEOUT #359

There was an issue that LOGIN_TIMEOUT could not be defined.

Introducing our Github Community #370

Github recently made the Discussions feature available in Beta. We've opted to try this feature in order to lower the barrier for getting help. For now, the NetworkToCode Slack will remain available and active.

Compatibility

This version of Netbox Docker is only compatible with Netbox v2.10.x. For older versions use a previous release of Netbox Docker.
