netbox-packer

NetBox plugin that reflects HashiCorp Packer image-build artifacts — Proxmox VM templates, OPNsense / pfSense appliance images, and network OS golden images — into NetBox through the proxbox-api backend.

netbox-packer is a sibling plugin of netbox-proxbox; it reuses netbox-proxbox FastAPI endpoint resolution and job conventions when that plugin is installed, and falls back to its own proxbox_api_url / proxbox_api_key plugin settings otherwise.

When configured with an HCP Packer organization / project ID, the plugin can resolve image IDs from the HCP Packer registry via proxbox-api.

Status

netbox-packer v0.0.1 ships the plugin scaffold and NetBox installation glue. Image-inventory models and HCP Packer sync land in upcoming releases. The plugin is read-only: all build operations remain in Packer / HCP.

Requirements

• NetBox 4.5.x – 4.6.x
• Python 3.12+
• netbox-proxbox >= 0.0.16
• A reachable proxbox-api instance with Packer-aware endpoints enabled
