Is it same as NetDot?

By: Gijs

Hi Hitesh,Nice article, one comment though. I'd recommend to replace this line:

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 10

which is the way it should be set on ubuntu.

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 10

Is it possible to install NetBox on server running ISPConfig and Apache?

By: Jazzper

Followed the guide and after running the following command I navigated to the http://your-server-ip:8080 (Where your-server-ip = my actual ip). All I get is a timeout.systemctl status nginx

if you don't have redis installed, it is needed and seems to be missing from article

sudo apt install -y redis-server

By: dbilbo

I had to make this change for

nano /opt/netbox/gunicorn_config.py command = '/usr/local/bin/gunicorn' pythonpath = '/opt/netbox/netbox' bind = 'your-server-ip:8001' workers = 3 user = 'www-data'

replaced above bind to (was previously using the ip of the server)

bind = '127.0.0.1:8001'

You'd probably be better off with the official docs at https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
