![Master branch build status](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/workflows/CI/badge.svg?branch=master)
NetBox is an infrastructure resource modeling (IRM) tool designed to empower
network automation. Initially conceived by the network engineering team at
[DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/), NetBox was developed specifically
to address the needs of network and infrastructure engineers. It is intended to
function as a domain-specific source of truth for network operations.
NetBox runs as a web application atop the [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/)
Python framework with a [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database. For a
complete list of requirements, see `requirements.txt`. The code is available [on GitHub](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox).
The complete documentation for NetBox can be found at [Read the Docs](https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). A public demo instance is available at https://demo.netbox.dev.
