Deployment

Important: Also consider the advice about configuring Netbox for production above!

You may run this image in a cluster such as Docker Swarm, Kubernetes or OpenShift, but this is advanced level.

In this case, we encourage you to statically configure Netbox by starting from Netbox's example config file, and mounting it into your container in the directory /etc/netbox/config/ using the mechanism provided by your container platform (i.e. Docker Swarm configs, Kubernetes ConfigMap, OpenShift ConfigMaps).

But if you rather continue to configure your application through environment variables, you may continue to use the built-in configuration file. We discourage storing secrets in environment variables, as environment variable are passed on to all sub-processes and may leak easily into other systems, e.g. error collecting tools that often collect all environment variables whenever an error occurs.

Therefore we strongly advise to make use of the secrets mechanism provided by your container platform (i.e. Docker Swarm secrets, Kubernetes secrets, OpenShift secrets). The configuration file and the entrypoint script try to load the following secrets from the respective files. If a secret is defined by an environment variable and in the respective file at the same time, then the value from the environment variable is used.

• SUPERUSER_PASSWORD: /run/secrets/superuser_password
• SUPERUSER_API_TOKEN: /run/secrets/superuser_api_token
• DB_PASSWORD: /run/secrets/db_password
• SECRET_KEY: /run/secrets/secret_key
• EMAIL_PASSWORD: /run/secrets/email_password
• NAPALM_PASSWORD: /run/secrets/napalm_password
• REDIS_PASSWORD: /run/secrets/redis_password
• REDIS_CACHE_PASSWORD: /run/secrets/redis_cache_password
• AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD: /run/secrets/auth_ldap_bind_password
