Installation

Activate venv

To ensure our plugin is accessible to the NetBox installation, we first need to activate the Python virtual environment that was created when we installed NetBox. To do this, determine the virtual environment's path (this will be /opt/netbox/venv/ if you use the documentation's defaults) and activate it:

$ source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate

Install the package

$ python3 -m pip install netbox-contract

Configure NetBox

Finally, we need to configure NetBox to enable our new plugin. Over in the NetBox installation path, open netbox/netbox/configuration.py and look for the PLUGINS parameter; this should be an empty list. (If it's not yet defined, go ahead and create it.) Add the name of our plugin to this list:

# configuration.py
PLUGINS = [
    'netbox_contract',
]

Customize the location of the plugin's menu:

# configuration.py
PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    'netbox_contract': {
        'top_level_menu': True
    }
}

Customize the internal partie field.
Internal partie reference the legal entity of your organization that is a partie to the contract.

# configuration.py
FIELD_CHOICES = {
    'netbox_contract.Contract.internal_partie': (
        ('Nagravision SARL', 'Nagravision SARL', 'green'),
        ('Nagra USA', 'Nagra USA', 'green'),
        ('Nagra India', 'Nagra India', 'green'),
    )
}

Run database migrations

(venv) $ cd /opt/netbox/netbox/
(venv) $ python3 manage.py migrate
