HTTP Server Installation

Nginx Installation

sudo apt install -y nginx

Nginx Configuration

1. Once nginx is installed, copy the nginx configuration file provided by NetBox to /etc/nginx/sites-available/netbox. Be sure to replace netbox.example.com with the domain name or IP address of your installation. (This should match the value configured for ALLOWED_HOSTS in configuration.py.).

server_name your_ip_address;

sudo cp /opt/netbox/contrib/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/netbox

1. Then, delete /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default and create a symlink in the sites-enabled directory to the configuration file you just created.

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/netbox /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/netbox

1. Finally, restart the nginx service to use the new configuration.

sudo systemctl restart nginx

1. After that navigate to the dashboard with https://your_ip_address with the credentials (admin/adminpassword).
