New Behavior

New release

Contrast to Current Behavior

In the previous version, we began to clean up NetBox Docker to make it easier to maintain and so that it breaks less often, when the upstream NetBox team releases a new version.

This version continues with more maintenance related work. It also exposes two new variables as environment variables (one general, one ldap-specific) and allows the dynamic configuration parameters to be used, while still allowing them to be set via the environment for backwards compatibility.

Discussion: Benefits and Drawbacks

# Noteworthy Changes

In the previous version, we began to clean up NetBox Docker to make it easier to maintain and so that it breaks less often, when the upstream NetBox team releases a new version.

This version continues with more maintenance related work. It also exposes two new variables as environment variables (one general, one ldap-specific) and allows the _dynamic configuration parameters_ to be used, while still allowing them to be set via the environment for backwards compatibility.

In the next version we will probably update the PostgreSQL version from 14 to 15.

## Dependency Updates

- Update dependency psycopg2 to v2.9.4 #856

## Adding the `JOBRESULT_RETENTION` variable #840

The PR #840 exposes a new variable `JOBRESULT_RETENTION` as an environment variable.

Thanks @tymekxxl for the PR!

## Adding the `AUTH_LDAP_BIND_AS_AUTHENTICATING_USER` variable #779

The PR #779 adds the new  environment variable `AUTH_LDAP_BIND_AS_AUTHENTICATING_USER` to the ldap configuration file. This allows NetBox Docker to bind to an LDAP server using username and password provided by the user being authenticated.

Thanks @BegBlev for the PR.

## A volume for the caching Redis #852

Fixes the behavior that the caching Redis, which is actually ephemeral, creates a lot of unmanaged volumes. That is, because that's what the Redis container declares in its manifest. #852 fixes this by defining a managed volume for the caching Redis, even though it's not required otherwise.

Thanks to @Delta1977 for the PR.

## Support dynamic configuration parameters #857

All the [dynamic configuration parameters](https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/configuration/#dynamic-configuration-parameters) can now be configured via the web administration of NetBox. (You can still configure them via environment variables).

The following additional configuration parameters are now available to be configured via environment variables:

    ALLOWED_URL_SCHEMES
    DEVELOPER
    INTERNAL_IPS
    LOGIN_PERSISTENCE
    CSRF_COOKIE_NAME
    SESSION_COOKIE_NAME
    POWERFEED_DEFAULT_AMPERAGE
    POWERFEED_DEFAULT_MAX_UTILIZATION
    POWERFEED_DEFAULT_VOLTAGE

Please refer [to the NetBox documentation](https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/configuration/#dynamic-configuration-parameters) for their allowed values and proper use.

Thanks go out to @benwa for the submitting an earlier draft and bringing the topic onto our plate.
