NetBox Enterprise Embedded Cluster Installation
Deploying the cluster
The following steps are required for an Embedded Cluster (EC) installation of NetBox Enterprise.
- Download the deployment package and license file to your host (the
Authorizationtoken should be provided by NetBox Labs):
curl https://replicated.app/embedded/netbox-enterprise/stable -H "Authorization: <provided by NetBox Labs>" -o netbox-enterprise-stable.tgz
tar -xvzf netbox-enterprise-unstable.tgz
sudo ./netbox-enterprise install --license license.yaml
You’ll be requested to create a password for the NetBox Enterprise admin console. A Kubernetes cluster will then be deployed, ready to host all the NetBox application components. The deployment of the cluster is complete with this message:
Visit the Admin Console to configure and install netbox-enterprise: http://my.netbox-enterprise.host:30000
Deploying NetBox
Access the NetBox Enterprise admin console and configure NetBox.
Open the provided URL in a browser. A prompt will require the password created in Step 2:
A wizard will guide the configuration of NetBox for the environment:
Configuration information includes:
-
Built-in or external PostgreSQL:
-
Built-in or external S3-Compatible object store:
-
Built-in or external Redis object store:
-
Advanced settings to configure plugins and SSO remote authentication, and IPv4/IPv6 compatibility:
Finally, accept the terms of service by writing "ACCEPT" (case-insensitive) and you can proceed to the deployment.
Finish the Deployment
Once you have accepted the terms of service and continued on to the main admin console, deployment will start. The first deployment will take some time, as it brings up all subsystems and runs migrations to initialize the database.
The Unavailable status will change to Ready once the deployment is complete and NetBox has fully initialized:
Verify the Deployment
Once you see Ready, NetBox Enterprise is fully deployed, and available on ports 80 and 443.
