feat: add NetBox Cloudron package (Infrastructure) [#648]

Official-image wrapper of netboxcommunity/netbox v4.6.10
(netbox-docker 5.0.2, Granian), digest-pinned. OIDC via
python-social-auth wired to the platform provider; RQ worker
backgrounded behind a web-port gate; addon waits cover the 30s
upstream DB timeout. Full-stack verified: migrations, Granian,
worker, login page + SSO button. 16/~57.

### 16. NetBox (Infrastructure) ✅
**Date**: 2026-09-06
**Application**: NetBox — open-source IPAM/DCIM (IP addresses, prefixes,
VLANs, sites, racks, devices, circuits, virtualization, REST + GraphQL
APIs). Upstream: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox
(Apache-2.0), v4.6.10. First package in the workspace verified with a
**full-stack local test** (ephemeral PG16 + Redis 7 → migrations →
Granian bind → RQ worker → login page 200 + OIDC button).
**Ticket**: [#648](https://projects.knownelement.com/issues/648)
**Pattern**: official-image wrapper. NetBox itself has no Docker
tooling — images come from the separate netbox-docker repo; v4.6.10 is
built from netbox-docker **5.0.2** (beware stale docs claiming 3.x:
3.4.2 was the last nginx-unit release; 4.0+ serves via **Granian** on
:8080). The image's configuration is env-driven
(`DB_*`, `REDIS[_CACHE]_*`, `SECRET_KEY`, `ALLOWED_HOSTS`,
`CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS`, `REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND`, `SOCIAL_AUTH_OIDC_*`),
so no config-file generation is needed — start.sh only maps Cloudron
env onto it.
**Auth gate verdict**: ✅ OIDC preferred. NetBox 4.6 uses
python-social-auth directly; there is NO `SOCIAL_AUTH_TYPE` (legacy
netbox-docker 1.x/2.x mechanism). Minimum viable OIDC:
`REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND='social_core.backends.open_id_connect.OpenIdConnectAuth'`
+ `SOCIAL_AUTH_OIDC_{OIDC_ENDPOINT,KEY,SECRET}` — wired from
`CLOUDRON_OIDC_*`, with the issuer normalized to a trailing slash
(social-core discovery requirement). Local Django login stays available
for admin bootstrap (`manage.py createsuperuser` via the Cloudron
terminal); SSO users register WITHOUT privileges.
**Key decisions**:
- **One-container problem**: upstream compose runs the RQ worker as a
separate service; Cloudron is one container per app. start.sh
backgrounds `manage.py rqworker` behind a gate that waits for
127.0.0.1:8080 to answer — Granian binding is the signal that
docker-entrypoint.sh finished migrating, so the worker never races
the schema. When Granian exits, the container dies and takes the
worker with it.
- **Addon waits BEFORE the entrypoint**: netbox-docker's own DB wait is
only `DB_WAIT_TIMEOUT=30s` — too tight against a cold Cloudron
postgres addon. start.sh does the repo-standard bash `/dev/tcp` wait
for PostgreSQL AND Redis first (same pattern as ChirpStack/eLabFTW).
- **Persistence via build-time symlinks**: the container runs as
unprivileged `netbox` (uid 999, gid 0), so `/opt/netbox/netbox/
{media,reports,scripts}` are replaced by symlinks into `/app/data`
at BUILD time (root), not in start.sh.
- **One Redis instance, two logical DBs**: tasks=0, caching=1
(upstream convention; Cloudron's single redis addon suffices).
- **SKIP_SUPERUSER=true**: no baked-in admin password; README covers
`createsuperuser` via the terminal (mirrors the ChirpStack bootstrap
story). `SECRET_KEY` generated as 64 hex chars (NetBox enforces
>= 50), persisted under /app/data.
- **PG floor**: 4.6 requires PostgreSQL 14+ (15+ from 4.7) — the
Cloudron postgresql addon satisfies it.
**Verification** (the deepest in the workspace so far):
- `docker build --cgroup-parent ukrrs-batch.slice` green (image
pulled by digest, ~1GB).
- No-addons smoke: secret generated, entrypoint reached its DB wait —
i.e. Django configuration parsed cleanly.
- Full-stack test on a scratch docker network: ephemeral postgres:16
+ redis:7 (requirepass), mapped through the same `CLOUDRON_*` env
the platform injects. Results: all ~230 migrations applied; config
banner confirmed every `/etc/netbox/config/*.py` loaded; Granian
`[INFO] Listening at: http://:::8080`; worker gate fired ("web port
is up" → RQ `Listening on high, default, low`); `GET /login/` = 200
with the SSO button linking `/oauth/login/oidc/` — the OIDC backend
is registered. (A `Host: 127.0.0.1` curl returns 400 — ALLOWED_HOSTS
working as designed; the Cloudron proxy sends the real domain.)
- First boot took ~24 min under a load-19 contended dev box (migrate
~15 min + reindex); minutes on an idle host — noted in the README.
**Files Created**:
- Dockerfile (official-image wrapper, tag+amd64-manifest-digest
pinned, build-time persistence symlinks, tini ENTRYPOINT preserved)
- CloudronManifest.json (manifestVersion 2, port 8080, healthCheckPath
/login/, localstorage + postgresql + redis, memoryLimit 2048)
- start.sh (secret persistence, env mapping, OIDC wiring, addon waits,
gated RQ worker, entrypoint handoff) — committed executable
- README.md (auth story, admin bootstrap, runtime layout, knobs)
- CHANGELOG.md
- .env.example (TIME_ZONE / GRANIAN_WORKERS / METRICS_ENABLED)
- .dockerignore (excludes the cloned repo/ from the build context)
- logo.png (from upstream netbox/project-static/img/netbox_touch-icon-180.png)

# NetBox Cloudron Package
#
# NetBox is an open-source IPAM / DCIM web application (Django): circuits,
# devices, racks, IP address management, prefixes, VLANs, virtualization,
# with a REST + GraphQL API. PostgreSQL for storage, Redis for caching and
# background tasks (RQ webhooks/scripts/jobs).
#
# Upstream: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox (Apache-2.0), v4.6.10
# - Built/published by the separate netbox-docker repo; v4.6.10 images
# come from netbox-docker 5.0.2 (tag alias v4.6.10-5.0.2, pushed
# 2026-09-02). 5.x serves HTTP via Granian on port 8080 (nginx-unit is
# gone since 4.0), runs as user netbox (uid 999, gid 0), and the
# default container is WEB-ONLY: upstream compose runs the RQ worker
# as a separate service. Cloudron is one-container-per-app, so
# start.sh backgrounds `manage.py rqworker` (gated on the web port so
# it only starts once the entrypoint's migrations have finished).
# - The image configuration is env-driven (netbox-docker
# configuration/configuration.py): DB_*, REDIS[_CACHE]_*, SECRET_KEY,
# ALLOWED_HOSTS, CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS, REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND +
# SOCIAL_AUTH_OIDC_* all map straight onto Cloudron addon/platform env.
# - docker-entrypoint.sh waits for the DB, migrates, and creates the
# superuser unless SKIP_SUPERUSER=true (our default; the README covers
# creating the admin via the Cloudron terminal).
#
# Authentication: NATIVE OIDC (preferred). NetBox 4.6 uses python-social-
# auth directly: REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND=OpenIdConnectAuth + the
# SOCIAL_AUTH_OIDC_{OIDC_ENDPOINT,KEY,SECRET} trio, wired in start.sh from
# the Cloudron platform provider (CLOUDRON_OIDC_*). The local Django login
# form remains available alongside SSO for admin bootstrap; SSO-registered
# users arrive with no privileges (README).
#
# Pattern: official-image wrapper. Image pinned by tag AND digest (amd64
# manifest digest of the v4.6.10 tag, from docker manifest inspect — the
# Hub API's index digest is NOT usable as tag@digest, see JOURNAL #668).

# NetBox — Cloudron Package
[NetBox](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox) v4.6.10 — open-source
IPAM/DCIM: IP addresses, prefixes, VLANs, sites, racks, devices, circuits,
virtualization, tenancy, REST + GraphQL APIs. Packaged as an
**official-image wrapper** around `netboxcommunity/netbox:v4.6.10`
(built from netbox-docker 5.0.2, served by Granian on :8080), digest-pinned.
## Authentication (auth gate: ✅ OIDC preferred)
NetBox 4.6 authenticates via **python-social-auth** with no legacy
`SOCIAL_AUTH_TYPE` involved:
- `REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND = social_core.backends.open_id_connect.OpenIdConnectAuth`
- `SOCIAL_AUTH_OIDC_OIDC_ENDPOINT / KEY / SECRET` ← wired by `start.sh`
from the Cloudron platform OIDC provider (`CLOUDRON_OIDC_*`,
manifestVersion 2), scopes `openid profile email`.
Two consequences that matter on first boot:
1. **SSO-registered users are created without privileges.** An admin must
exist first — create it from the Cloudron **terminal**:
```sh
cd /opt/netbox/netbox
python3 manage.py createsuperuser
```
Then log in on `/login/` with the local form (it stays available
alongside the SSO button) and grant groups/permissions as needed.
2. The platform OIDC client must register the standard redirect:
`https://<app-domain>/complete/oidc/` (the Cloudron provider handles
this when the app is installed).
## Runtime layout
| Concern | How |
|---------|-----|
| Database | Cloudron `postgresql` addon (PG 16 ≥ NetBox 4.6's PG 14 floor; PG 15+ required from 4.7) |
| Cache + tasks | Cloudron `redis` addon — one instance, two logical DBs (tasks=0, caching=1, upstream convention) |
| Migrations | Run automatically by the upstream `docker-entrypoint.sh` (waits for PostgreSQL first) |
| RQ worker | Backgrounded by `start.sh`, started only after the web port answers (i.e. post-migration) — webhooks, scripts, reports, scheduled/housekeeping jobs |
| Persistence | `/app/data` (localstorage): `media/` (attachments), `reports/`, `scripts/` (custom code), `.secret_key` |
| SECRET_KEY | Generated once (64 hex chars), persisted; rotating it invalidates sessions |
| First boot | Allow up to ~10-15 min — `migrate` + `reindex --lazy` run before Granian binds :8080 (observed: ~24 min on a 3x-oversubscribed dev box, minutes on an idle host; subsequent boots are fast) |
## Operator knobs (`.env.example`)
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `NETBOX_TIME_ZONE` | `UTC` | Django `TIME_ZONE` |
| `NETBOX_GRANIAN_WORKERS` | `4` | Web workers (lower on small installs) |
| `NETBOX_METRICS_ENABLED` | `false` | Prometheus endpoint at `/metrics` |
## Upgrades
The image is pinned by tag **and** digest in the `Dockerfile`. To upgrade,
bump both (verify the new amd64 digest with
`docker manifest inspect netboxcommunity/netbox:<tag>`) and rebuild —
migrations run automatically on first boot.
## Package pattern
Official-image wrapper + `start.sh` env mapping — see the repo
`JOURNAL.md` NetBox section for the full write-up (worker-gating trick,
build-time persistence symlinks, OIDC wiring).
