Installing NetBox 10 minutes! WHAAAAAT?!?

[@sijoriasijoria]

Hi Jeremy- happy to see you explaining Netbox, have been watching your videos since a long time now, did my ccna voice, ccna route switch with you at CBT nuggets. You are a great teacher!

[@shaitech128]

Thanks Jeremy, loves your videos and explanations. I buy the full KITS course to support you and make more interesting videos (Please make CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure course)

Thank you for your video! I have a question how can we take backup from the whole Netbox database

[@axxoaxx288]

those who dont know how to start the netbox again after vm restart or shutdown or unexpected power down: 1. ssh or console login 2. enter ls . This will show you list of container folder. 3. Enter "cd netbox-docker ". In my case netbox-docker is my folder. 4. Enter "sudo docker-compose up" This will up your netbox docker...

[@kristopherleslie8343]

Did it again and thank you so much this worked out well. Was tired of the demo and was ready to do it in my home lab so I can get used to it more and deploy it for my job.

Hello Jeremy, Great job but your commands are not in the show notes, is there a place where we can get them? By The way if you would want a challenge Try upgrading netbox and doing a video there are a Ton of us who need to upgrade from an older version of netbox.

[@sitte24]

There is no need to use putty, you can use ssh via cmd or (the way i love it) with Windows Terminal

[@HarimaKentaro]

Is it possible to run multiple instances of netbox-docker within one VM? For example, in the above example that you have shown in the video, can you create a second instance? I tried doing it by creating a different project folder and download the files from git repo but when i run one instance, it just replaces the instance that is already running [I used different ports, tried even changing the project, container_name, network, etc. in the dock-compose.yml files] Thanks.

[@oldshield]

Hey, if we use this via docker, where is the data stored? Am i going to reboot this box and all the work be gone?

[@Nec89]

When you set up the docker container you declare a working directory to store it all. Default is / but generally its set to WORKDIR /app by the base image

Oh, I am trying to learn Azure and I was able to bring up a server, install netbox and start using netbox in about 10 - 15 min. but QQ, does the SSH have to keep running? as soon as I exited out the website went down. but that could be because I didn't setup the server in azure correctly???

I had the unfortunate issue of receiving the following error: The Compose file is invalid because: Service nginx has neither an image nor a build context specified. At least one must be provided.

[@Rayzorc]

For a quick answer, the docker-compose file must reflect this. So where nginx: was put netbox: Also dont forget the spacing tee docker-compose.override.yml

[@gibson60]

09:55 I think Dockerfile has nothing to do with Docker compose. Docker compose downloads the artifacts from docker registry on the cloud while Dockerfile is used to build a docker locally

So you have two options 1. use "docker run --restart=always" 2. edit your "compose.yml" config file and edit or add "restart: always"

Love this, but Jeremy when you created the LXC container you put the DNS IP in the domain field instead of the server field. Otherwise thanks so much for all the content you create for the network engineer community. Long time listener, first time caller.

I wish this was a 20-minute video where you performed standard Ubuntu installation without using proxmox. The proxmox added a layer that I wasn't able to follow. I was not able to get the installation Netbox running using your recipe.

[@lcrince]

the normal installation, without proxmox, is just using docker. There are a ton of ways to do that none of which are difficult due to the plethora of documentation and tutorials available. The hard part is proxmox, that is what makes this video unique and so helpfull.

Is it me or did he forget to install the virtualization drivers?

probably proxmox doesn't need them

i dont often post but i am doing this behinde a proxy and had some issues this is how i fixed it For anyone who is changing the DNS but it is not getting results, check the proxy. You should setup a proxy for docker: stackoverflow.com/questions/23111631/cannot-download-docker-images-behind-a-proxy First, create a systemd drop-in directory for the docker service: mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d Now create a file called /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf that adds the HTTP_PROXY environment variable: [Service] Environment="HTTP_PROXY=proxy.example.com:80/" If you have internal Docker registries that you need to contact without proxying you can specify them via the NO_PROXY environment variable: Environment="HTTP_PROXY=proxy.example.com:80/" Environment="NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,docker-registry.somecorporation.com" Flush changes: $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload Verify that the configuration has been loaded: $ sudo systemctl show --property Environment docker Environment=HTTP_PROXY=proxy.example.com:80/ Restart Docker: $ sudo systemctl restart docker Thanks to Evinhas github.com/docker/for-win/issues/611
