Example of implementation of Docker building NetBox

NetBox is an open source data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and IP address management (IPAM) platform for managing network devices, servers, racks, ports, IP addresses and subnets. It provides an intuitive web interface that allows users to track assets, allocate IP addresses, plan network architecture, and generate reports.

Practical application scenarios

• Network Management: Used to manage network devices and connections.
• asset Management: Tracking hardware assets such as servers, switches, routers, etc.
• IP Management: Automate the allocation and tracking of IP addresses.
• Document Management: Stores the documents and configuration files of network devices.
• Report generation: Generate reports on network usage and asset status.

Build NetBox in Docker CLI

Pull the mirror：

docker pull netboxcommunity/netbox

Run the container：

docker run -d \
  --name=netbox \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v /path/to/netbox/data:/netbox/venv/Lib/site-packages/netbox/media/netbox \
  netboxcommunity/netbox

• -d: Run the container in detached mode.
• --name=netbox: Set the name of the container.
• -p 8000:8000: Map the container's port 8000 to the host's port 8000 for web access.
• -v /path/to/netbox/data:/netbox/venv/Lib/site-packages/netbox/media/netbox: Mount the host's directory into a container for persistent storage of NetBox data.

Build NetBox by Docker Compose

Createdocument:

version: '3'
services:
  netbox:
    image: netboxcommunity/netbox
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    volumes:
      - /path/to/netbox/data:/netbox/venv/Lib/site-packages/netbox/media/netbox
    restart: unless-stopped

Start the service：

docker-compose up -d

• image: Specify the Docker image to use.
• ports: Map container ports to the host, so that external access to applications running in the container.
• volumes: Define the volume, mount the host's directory into the container, and use it to store NetBox's data to achieve data persistence.
• restart: Set the restart policy of the container.unless-stoppedIt means that unless the container is explicitly stopped, it will automatically restart after exiting.
