Upgrading NetBox Cloud

To safely and easily upgrade your NetBox Cloud instance without worrying about any plugin compatibility issues, follow the steps outlined below:

  1. In the NetBox Labs Console, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the instance you wish to upgrade and click Upgrade. Note the current NetBox version in this example is 4.1.7.

    manage instance

  2. The Safe Upgrade tool will present you with the potential and recommended versions you can upgrade to.

    You will see the version number, the status, whether installed plugins are compatible with the target NetBox version, and a link to the release notes for that version.

    upgrade options

    Note that we could upgrade to any of the other potential options, but the Safe Upgrade tool is recommending an upgrade to version 4.1.11. If you select this option, all plugins will be automatically upgraded to compatible versions as part of the upgrade process.

    Note too that if a plugin is not compatible with a certain NetBox version, you will see a warning like this:

    incompatible plugin

    In this case, you would not be able to upgrade to that version, and the tool will not allow you to select it. This typically means the plugin developer has not yet released a version compatible with that NetBox version.

  3. Select the version you wish to upgrade to. In this example, we will select the recommended version 3.6.

  4. Click on UPGRADE VERSION.

    click upgrade

  5. Click on Continue if you are sure you want to go ahead with the upgrade.

    confirmation warning

  6. You will then see a dialog box confirming the upgrade is in progress.
