Finally, a Portainer-Friendly Way to Deploy NetBox!

NetBox is an incredibly powerful IPAM and DCIM platform — but getting it deployed cleanly can be frustrating, especially if you’re using Portainer. This video does not focus on NetBox features or day-to-day usage. Instead, it’s all about getting NetBox up and running quickly and cleanly using Portainer, without fighting Docker Compose files that weren’t designed with Portainer in mind. In this walkthrough, I focus on: * Reworking the NetBox Docker setup to be Portainer-friendly * Deploying NetBox cleanly using Portainer stacks * Making NetBox internet-facing * Securing the deployment with Nginx Proxy Manager and SSL * Getting to a usable login screen fast, with minimal friction If you already know why you want NetBox and just need a fast, repeatable deployment, this video is for you. If you’re building a homelab, running an MSP stack, or standing up NetBox in production, this approach saves time and headaches. No deep dives. No feature tours. Just a clean NetBox deployment using Portainer.
