NetBox requires a PostgreSQL database to store data. MySQL is not supported, as NetBox leverage's PostgreSQL's built-in [network address types](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/datatype-net-types.html).
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
The following packages are needed to install PostgreSQL with Python support:
|
|
|
|
* postgresql
|
|
* libpq-dev
|
|
* python-psycopg2
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# sudo apt-get install -y postgresql libpq-dev python-psycopg2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Configuration
|
|
|
|
At a minimum, we need to create a database for NetBox and assign it a username and password for authentication. This is done with the following commands.
|
|
|
|
!!! danger
|
|
DO NOT USE THE PASSWORD FROM THE EXAMPLE.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# sudo -u postgres psql
|
|
psql (9.3.13)
|
|
Type "help" for help.
|
|
|
|
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE netbox;
|
|
CREATE DATABASE
|
|
postgres=# CREATE USER netbox WITH PASSWORD 'J5brHrAXFLQSif0K';
|
|
CREATE ROLE
|
|
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE netbox TO netbox;
|
|
GRANT
|
|
postgres=# \q
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can verify that authentication works issuing the following command and providing the configured password:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# psql -U netbox -h localhost -W
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If successful, you will enter a `postgres` prompt. Type `\q` to exit.
