Support for netbox 4.x

[dBitech]

There were changes in netbox 3.7 which were further deprecated in 4.0 Please see Migrating Your Plugin to NetBox v4.0 for porting instructions to make the plugin compatible with 4.x

[xXAzazelXx]

Yep it's broken at the moment. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'extras.plugins'

[OberMarcLP]

Can I do something to fix it, or must I wait until a new Version of Proxbox is coming out?

I also encountered the error today, i wanted to install this plugin on a new installation but got the following errors:

`

Seems that the issue still fails on ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'extras.plugins', can someone check this out?

I am running on Netbox v4.0.9

[Uzoma8Chi]

Why do you not make a new release for 4.x? I already see commit. https://github.com/netdevopsbr/netbox-proxbox/commit/de2bb66c78be3cf8d20c93afd2f0e3c5ed6b3d9c
Since I use docker I do not know how to use non released changes.

The github version installs on 4.x, but it still doesn't seem to work on the latest netbox release

[psiess]

I'm having the same problem with Netbox 4.1.1. When trying to run python3 manage.py migrate I get the same errors as @Tehniels2000.

Any ETA for a fix for this problem?

[emersonfelipesp]

Currently working on support for latest Netbox version.

[psiess]

Currently working on support for latest Netbox version.

Excellent. Thank you for the letting us know.

[maxdallmair]

Hello, sorry to push this, but is there any ETA?

[emersonfelipesp]

Currently working on it, on my test env everything is going fine. You guys can already test it. But I'm improving testing and corner cases, as it's not easy to predict all Proxmox environments.

[emersonfelipesp]

I would like to also note that although I love the project and its function, I do it as best-effort and have no return. I'm really glad the amount of people that use it, but I ask for some patience, if possible.

[psiess]

Thank you for all your work on this, Emerson.

How can I get access to test the update that supports 4.x?

Hello, I tried to install the current develop branch version but I get the following error:

The complete exception is provided below:

<class 'KeyError'>

'fastapi'

Python version: 3.11.2
NetBox version: 4.1.4
Plugins: 
  netbox_proxbox: 0.0.5

But based on pip list fastapi is installed fastapi 0.115.2.

Do you have any Ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[emersonfelipesp]

Hi @spacecodeit could you please the last commits and confirm that fastapi is installed on Netbox Virtual Venv (/opt/netbox/venv)?

Also, now on Proxbox plugin homepage, there is connection status to the services and log messages on the bottom, as you click on Proxmox Full Update button. Send me the output log messages, if possible.

[emersonfelipesp]

Hi @psiess, you just need to pull the develop (using git checkout develop) branch and you're fine. I'm currently working on it, but plugin should work.

[psiess]

Hi @psiess, you just need to pull the develop (using git checkout develop) branch and you're fine. I'm currently working on it, but plugin should work.

Sorry for the newbie question. How do I pull the develop branch? I cloned the repository and can see the branches

git branch -a

• develop remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/develop remotes/origin/auto-update remotes/origin/backend remotes/origin/develop remotes/origin/gh-pages remotes/origin/main remotes/origin/optimize-performance remotes/origin/proxmox-folder-view

...but I can't figure out how to pull the develop branch. I tried git clone develop and git pull develop but neither work.

[emersonfelipesp]

I think you already switched to develop. If not, just issue the git checkout develop command and then git branch to check if it worked.

[psiess]

You are right @emersonfelipesp. I was able to install netbox-proxbox, but get an error right at the end of the installation:

Installed /opt/netbox/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/fastapi_cli-0.0.5-py3.12.egg error: starlette 0.41.0 is installed but starlette<0.41.0,>=0.37.2 is required by {'fastapi'}

Can I downgrade starlette without messing up the rest of netbox? Or install a lower version alongside the 0.41.0?

[emersonfelipesp]

I'm currently using starlette=0.38.6

Yo can try this version with: pip install -Iv starlette=0.38.6

[emersonfelipesp]

@psiess try using the git pull again to get my last commits. I have added/changed:

• Added documentation on how to enable Proxbox backend in FastAPI
• Updated requirements.txt so that most important packages has a fixed version to install

Let me now if it works!

[emersonfelipesp]

I actually had to use starlette==0.40.0 as Github pointed out the previous version had a major security issue. Just tested 0.40.0 version and apparently looks good.

[psiess]

Do I need to re-install after the new pull?

[emersonfelipesp]

@psiess I'm not sure, but would be good.

[troycarpenter]

I also want to be sure I'm doing this right. I currently go into /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox-proxbox and do a git pull to get the latest. Then, in /opt/netbox I execute ./update.sh with netbox-proxbox in the local_requirements file.

I'm not sure it's working because Netbox doesn't start with the plugin activated. If I remove netbox_proxbox from the configuration.py file that Netbox will start.

Is there a different way I should be doing that?

[emersonfelipesp]

Hi @troycarpenter, could you se Netbox logs? I don't get why it didn't work. I'm putting a lot of effort on Docs and Proxbox Plugin GUI so that User knows exactly what is going on. But for now, I'll need some help from you guys to find the bugs.

[troycarpenter]

I have tried all the ways I've found online to get Netbox to log to a file, but nothing has worked for me. It's gone as far as creating the log file, but nothing is ever logged there. In configuration.py, I have this:

DEBUG = True
import logging.handlers
LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'formatters': {
        'normal': {
            'format': '%(asctime)s %(name)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s'
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'file': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.handlers.WatchedFileHandler',
            'filename': '/var/log/netbox/netbox.log',
            'formatter': 'normal',
        },
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
        },
    },
    'root': {
        'handlers': ['console'],
        'level': 'INFO',
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            'handlers': ['file'],
            'level': 'INFO',
        },
        'netbox': {
            'handlers': ['file'],
            'level': 'INFO',
        },
    },
}

That logging section is now a frankenstien based on a few websites.

[emersonfelipesp]

Could you please send me your plugins configuration? With PLUGINS and PLUGINS_CONFIG variables.

[troycarpenter]

PLUGINS = [
            'netbox_proxbox',
            'netbox_ipcalculator',
            'netbox_routing',
]
PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    'netbox_proxbox': {
        'proxmox':
            {
                'domain': 'pve.xxxx.xx',    # May also be IP address
                'http_port': 8006,
                'user': 'root@pam',   # always required
                'password': 'redacted', # only required, if you don't want to use token based authentication
                'ssl': True,
                'token': {
                    'name': 'proxbox',  # Only type the token name and not the 'user@pam:tokenID' format
                    'value': 'proxboxtokenredacted'
                },
            },
        'netbox': {
            'domain': 'localhost',     # Ensure localhost is added to ALLOWED_HOSTS
            'http_port': 8001,     # Gunicorn port.
            'token': 'netboxtokenredacted',
            'ssl': False, # There is no support to SSL on Netbox yet, so let it always False.
            'settings': {
                'virtualmachine_role_id' : 0,
                'node_role_id' : 0,
                'site_id': 0
            }
        }
    }
}

The first time I used Proxbox, it was on a version 3.x and at that time I was able to pull in my VM information initially, so I do already have database entries for Proxbox (if that makes sense).

[emersonfelipesp]

Hi @troycarpenter! You just need to insert the code below netbox:

'fastapi': {
    # Uvicorn Host is (most of the time) the same as Netbox (as both servers run on the same machine)
    'uvicorn_host': 'localhost',
    'uvicorn_port': 8800    # Default Proxbox FastAPI port
}

Follow the Documentantion Example if in doubt

After configuring FastAPI on configuration.py, follow systemd Setup instructions and then Proxbox will work.

At the time you used Proxbox, I wasn't using FastAPI as the backend service. So just add this step and let me know if it works!

[emersonfelipesp]

OBS: Any solution I'm providing here will work only with GitHub repository and not PyPI package, as I didn't launched the official version yet. So pip3 install netbox-proxbox won't ever work on Netbox v4.0
