NetBox SLM

NetBox SLM is a plugin for lifecycle management of software components, including versions and installations.

Installation Guide

When using the Docker version of NetBox, first follow the netbox-docker quickstart instructions to clone the netbox-docker repository and set up the docker-compose.override.yml.

Note that this plugin is only tested against a single NetBox version at this time, see Dockerfile-CI.

Next, follow these instructions (based on the NetBox docker variant instructions) to install the NetBox SLM plugin:

1. Add netbox_slm to the PLUGINS list in configuration/plugins.py.
2. Create a plugin_requirements.txt with netbox-slm as contents.
3. Create a Dockerfile-SLM with contents:

FROM netboxcommunity/netbox:vX.Y.Z

COPY ../pyproject.toml /tmp/
RUN uv pip install -r /tmp/pyproject.toml

4. Create a docker-compose.override.yml with contents:

version: "3.7"
services:
  netbox:
    ports:
      - "8000:8080"
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile-SLM
    image: netbox:slm
  netbox-worker:
    image: netbox:slm
  netbox-housekeeping:
    image: netbox:slm

Now, build the image: docker compose build --no-cache

And finally, run NetBox with the SLM plugin: docker compose up
