Hi,

I'm trying to follow along to implement this demo, but it seems there is some initial configuration or steps that were not covered in the video?

Specifically, I'm unclear about steps 4 & 5. Why is the container needed? Are you running subsequent steps from within the container?

I'm running Netbox on RHEL 8, is it safe to assume I can replace all Docker cmds with podman?

Thanks for the note! I'll make some updates with some diagrams.

In this case Docker is used on the Ansible control node to provide for a consistent development platform. That it is portable and not relying on any particular OS dependencies or PIP dependencies. If you are good with using virtual environments, this is the same/similar concept except at the full OS level.

Note @adamwoolhether I also did just push an update as I found that the recent upgrade to pynetbox broke the Ansible Collections. I have pinned the last good version of pynetbox until a fix is provided. I'm also pinning the version of the Galaxy modules to make sure that any dependency between a Collection version and pynetbox is maintained nicely.

@jvanderaa Thanks a ton! I convinced my team to adopt Netbox after watching the recording you did with Red Hat. Looking forward to updates. :D
