NetBox is an IP address management (IPAM) and data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tool.
$ helm repo add netbox https://charts.netbox.oss.netboxlabs.com/
$ helm install netbox \
--set postgresql.auth.postgresPassword=[password1] \
--set postgresql.auth.password=[password2] \
--set redis.auth.password=[password3] \
netbox/netbox
- Kubernetes 1.25.0+ (a current version)
- Helm 3.10.0+ (a version compatible with your cluster)
- This chart works with NetBox 3.5.0+ (3.6.4+ recommended)
To install the chart with the release name my-release
and default configuration:
$ helm repo add netbox https://charts.netbox.oss.netboxlabs.com/
$ helm install my-release \
--set postgresql.auth.postgresPassword=[password1] \
--set postgresql.auth.password=[password2] \
--set redis.auth.password=[password3] \
netbox/netbox
The default configuration includes the required PostgreSQL and Redis database services, but both should be managed externally in production deployments; see below.
Always use an existing Secret and supply all passwords and secret keys yourself to avoid Helm re-generating any of them for you.
I strongly recommend setting both postgresql.enabled
and redis.enabled
to
false
and using a separate external PostgreSQL and Redis instance. This
de-couples those services from the chart's bundled versions which may have
complex upgrade requirements. I also recommend using a clustered PostgreSQL
server (e.g. using Zalando's
Postgres Operator) and Redis
with Sentinel (e.g. using Aaron Layfield's
redis-ha chart).
Set persistence.enabled
to false
and use the S3 storageBackend
for object
storage. This works well with Minio or Ceph RGW as well as Amazon S3. See Using extraConfig for S3 storage configuration and Persistent storage pitfalls, below.
Run multiple replicas of the NetBox web front-end to avoid interruptions during
upgrades or at other times when the pods need to be restarted. There's no need
to have multiple workers (worker.replicaCount
) for better availability. Set
up affinity.podAntiAffinity
to avoid multiple NetBox pods being colocated on
the same node, for example:
affinity:
podAntiAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
- labelSelector:
matchLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/instance: netbox
app.kubernetes.io/name: netbox
app.kubernetes.io/component: netbox
topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname
To delete the chart:
$ helm delete my-release
When upgrading or changing settings and using the bundled Bitnami PostgreSQL
sub-chart, you must provide the postgresql.auth.password
at minimum.
Ideally you should also supply the postgresql.auth.postgresPassword
and,
if using replication, the postgresql.auth.replicationPassword
. Please see the
upstream documentation
for further information.
- NetBox has been updated to 3.6.4, but older 3.5+ versions should still work (this is not tested or supported, however).
- Potentially breaking changes:
- The
extraContainers
setting has been renamedsidecars
to match conventions. - The
extraInitContainers
setting has been renamedinitContainers
to match conventions. - The
metricsEnabled
setting has been renamedmetrics.enabled
to match conventions. - The
serviceMonitor
setting has been moved tometrics.serviceMonitor
to match conventions. - The
jobResultRetention
setting has been renamedjobRetention
to match the change in NetBox 3.5. - The
remoteAuth.backend
setting has been renamedremoteAuth.backends
and is now an array. - The
remoteAuth.autoCreateUser
setting now defaults tofalse
. - NAPALM support has been moved into a plugin since NetBox 3.5, so all NAPALM configuration has been removed from this chart.
- Please consult the NetBox and netbox-docker release notes in case there are any other changes that may affect your configuration.
- The
- The Bitnami PostgreSQL sub-chart was upgraded from 10.x to 13.x; please read the upstream upgrade notes if you are using the bundled PostgreSQL.
- The Bitnami Redis sub-chart was upgraded from 15.x to 18.x; please read the upstream upgrade notes if you are using the bundled Redis.
- NetBox 3.0.0 or above is required
- The Bitnami Redis sub-chart was upgraded from 12.x to 15.x; please read the upstream upgrade notes if you are using the bundled Redis
- The
cacheTimeout
andreleaseCheck.timeout
settings were removed
- NetBox 2.10.4 or above is required
- Kubernetes 1.14 or above is required
- Helm v3 or above is now required
- The
netbox
Deployment selectors are changed, so the Deployment must be deleted on upgrades - The Bitnami PostgreSQL sub-chart was upgraded from 8.x to 10.x; please read the upstream upgrade notes if you are using the bundled PostgreSQL
- The Bitnami Redis sub-chart was upgraded from 10.x to 12.x; please read the upstream upgrade notes if you are using the bundled Redis
- The NGINX container is removed, on account of upstream's migration from Gunicorn to NGINX Unit
- The
webhooksRedis
configuration key invalues.yaml
has been renamed totasksRedis
to match the upstream name - The
redis_password
key in the Secret has been renamed toredis_tasks_password
If you use an external Redis you will need to update your configuration values due to the chart reflecting upstream changes in how it uses Redis. There are now separate Redis configuration blocks for webhooks and for caching, though they can both point at the same Redis instance as long as the database numbers are different.
The chart dependencies on PostgreSQL and Redis have been upgraded, so you may need to take action depending on how you have configured the chart. The PostgreSQL chart was upgraded from 5.x.x to 7.x.x, and Redis from 8.x.x to 9.x.x.

Persistent storage for media is enabled by default, but unless you take special
care you will run into issues. The most common issue is that one of the NetBox
pods gets stuck in the ContainerCreating
state. There are several ways around
this problem:
- For production usage I recommend disabling persistent storage by setting
persistence.enabled
tofalse
and using the S3storageBackend
. This can be used with any S3-compatible storage provider including Amazon S3, Minio, Ceph RGW, and many others. See further down for an example of this. - Use a
ReadWriteMany
volume that can be mounted by several pods across nodes simultaneously. - Configure pod affinity settings to keep all the pods on the same node. This
allows a
ReadWriteOnce
volume to be mounted in several pods at the same time. - Disable persistent storage of media altogether and just manage without. The storage functionality is only needed to store uploaded image attachments.
To configure the pod affinity to allow using a ReadWriteOnce
volume you can
use the following example configuration:
affinity:
podAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
- labelSelector:
matchLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: netbox
topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname
housekeeping:
affinity:
podAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
- labelSelector:
matchLabels:

topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname

- labelSelector:
matchLabels:

topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname
Rather than specifying passwords and secrets as part of the Helm release values,
you may pass these to NetBox using pre-existing Secret
resources. When using
this, the Secret

If you want to use S3 as your storage backend and not have the config in the values.yaml
(credentials!)
you can use an existing secret that is then referenced under the extraConfig
key.
The secret would look like this:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/instance: netbox
name: netbox-extra
stringData:
s3-config.yaml: |
STORAGE_CONFIG:
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL: <endpoint-URL>
AWS_S3_REGION_NAME: <region>
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME: <bucket-name>
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: <access-key>
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: <secret-key>
And the secret then has to be referenced like this:
extraConfig:
- secret: # same as pod.spec.volumes.secret
secretName: netbox-extra
