Install the Latest Code
As with the initial installation, you can upgrade NetBox by either downloading the latest release package or by cloning the master branch of the git repository.
Option A: Download a Release
Download the latest stable release from GitHub as a tarball or ZIP archive. Extract it to your desired path. In this example, we'll use /opt/netbox. For this guide we are using 1.0.4 as the old version and 1.0.7 as the new version.
Download & extract latest version:
# wget https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox/archive/vX.Y.Z.tar.gz
# tar -xzf vX.Y.Z.tar.gz -C /opt
# cd /opt/
# ln -sf netbox-1.0.7/ netbox
Copy the 'configuration.py' you created when first installing to the new version:
# cp /opt/netbox-1.0.4/configuration.py /opt/netbox/configuration.py
Option B: Clone the Git Repository (latest master release)
For this guide, we'll use /opt/netbox.
Check that your git branch is up to date & is set to master:
# cd /opt/netbox
# git status
If not on branch master, set it and verify status:
# git checkout master
# git status
Pull down the set branch from git status above:
# git pull
Run the Upgrade Script
Once the new code is in place, run the upgrade script (which may need to be run as root depending on how your environment is configured).
# ./upgrade.sh
This script:
- Installs or upgrades any new required Python packages
- Applies any database migrations that were included in the release
- Collects all static files to be served by the HTTP service
Restart the WSGI Service
Finally, restart the WSGI service to run the new code. If you followed this guide for the initial installation, this is done using supervisorctl:
# sudo supervisorctl restart netbox
