# Netbox Deployment
GitOps deployment for Netbox with Tailscale HTTPS access via Komodo.
## Prerequisites
### PostgreSQL Database
Connect to your PostgreSQL server and create the database:
```sql
CREATE DATABASE netbox;
CREATE USER netbox WITH PASSWORD 'your-secure-password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE netbox TO netbox;
ALTER DATABASE netbox OWNER TO netbox;
-- Required for netbox-branching plugin
GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE netbox TO netbox;
```
### Generate Secret Key
```bash
python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(50))"
```
### Tailscale Auth Key
Generate a reusable auth key from https://login.tailscale.com/admin/settings/keys
## Deployment with Komodo
### 1. Add Git Provider (if using private repo)
In Komodo UI: Settings → Git Providers → Add your Gitea instance credentials.
### 2. Create Stack
1. Navigate to **Stacks****New Stack**
2. Configure:
- **Name**: `netbox`
- **Server**: Select your target server
- **Source**: Git Repo
- **Git Provider**: `gitea.arnodo.fr` (or your provider)
- **Repo**: `Damien/netbox-deployment`
- **Branch**: `main`
- **File Paths**: `docker-compose.yml`
### 3. Configure Environment Variables
In the stack configuration, add the following environment variables:
| Variable | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `TS_AUTHKEY` | Tailscale auth key (reusable) | `tskey-auth-xxx` |
| `DB_HOST` | PostgreSQL host | `postgresql.taila5ad8.ts.net` |
| `DB_PORT` | PostgreSQL port | `5432` |
| `DB_NAME` | Database name | `netbox` |
| `DB_USER` | Database user | `netbox` |
| `DB_PASSWORD` | Database password | *secret* |
| `SECRET_KEY` | Django secret key | *generated* |
| `SUPERUSER_NAME` | Initial admin username | `admin` |
| `SUPERUSER_EMAIL` | Initial admin email | `admin@example.com` |
| `SUPERUSER_PASSWORD` | Initial admin password | *secret* |
| `SKIP_SUPERUSER` | Skip superuser creation | `false` |
> **Tip**: Use Komodo's secret variables (marked with 🔒) for sensitive values like passwords and keys.
### 4. Deploy
Click **Deploy** in Komodo. The stack will:
1. Clone this repository
2. Pull container images
3. Start all services with the configuration files from the repo
### After First Deployment
Set `SKIP_SUPERUSER=true` to prevent superuser recreation on redeploy.
## GitOps Workflow
### Auto-deploy on Git Push
1. In Komodo, go to your stack settings
2. Enable **Auto Deploy** on push
3. Copy the webhook URL
4. Add it to your Gitea repository: Settings → Webhooks
Any push to the `main` branch will automatically redeploy the stack.
### Updating Configuration
Simply edit `configuration.py`, `plugins.py`, or `serve-config.json` in the repo and push. Komodo will detect the changes and redeploy if auto-deploy is enabled.
## Access
Once deployed: https://netbox.taila5ad8.ts.net
## Repository Structure
```
netbox-deployment/
├── docker-compose.yml # Stack definition (relative paths)
├── configuration.py # NetBox configuration
├── plugins.py # Plugins activation
├── serve-config.json # Tailscale HTTPS serve config
└── README.md
```
## Troubleshooting
### View Logs in Komodo
Click on the stack → select a service → **Logs** tab.
### Manual Redeploy
If auto-deploy doesn't trigger, click **Pull** then **Deploy** in Komodo.
### Check Service Health
All services show their status in the Komodo UI. Redis includes a healthcheck that must pass before NetBox starts.
