<div align="center"> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netbox-community/netbox/develop/docs/netbox_logo.svg" width="400" alt="NetBox logo" /> </div>  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. <div align="center"> <h4>Thank you to our sponsors!</h4> [](https://try.digitalocean.com/developer-cloud) [](https://metal.equinix.com/) [](https://ns1.com/) <br /> [](https://stellar.tech/) </div> ### Discussion * [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions) - Discussion forum hosted by GitHub; ideal for Q&A and other structured discussions * [Slack](https://netdev.chat/) - Real-time chat hosted by the NetDev Community; best for unstructured discussion or just hanging out * [Google Group](https://groups.google.com/g/netbox-discuss) - Legacy mailing list; slowly being replaced by GitHub discussions ### Installation Please see [the documentation](https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for instructions on installing NetBox.
