Puppet module for installing and configuring Netbox, an IPAM (IP Adress Management) tool initially conceived by the network engineering team at DigitalOcean. The documentation for Netbox can be found here
This module installs and configures Netbox. Netbox needs PostgreSQL and Redis to work, and this module can optionally handle that too.
If your module requires anything extra before setting up (pluginsync enabled, another module, etc.), mention it here.
If your most recent release breaks compatibility or requires particular steps for upgrading, you might want to include an additional "Upgrading" section here.
Add dependency modules to your puppet environment:
- camptocamp/systemd
- puppet/archive
- puppetlabs/inifile
- puppetlabs/stdlib
If you ar going to use this module to install PostgreSQL and Redis, then you need these as well:
- puppetlabs/postgresql
- puppetlabs/concat
- puppet/redis
Include usage examples for common use cases in the Usage section. Show your users how to use your module to solve problems, and be sure to include code examples. Include three to five examples of the most important or common tasks a user can accomplish with your module. Show users how to accomplish more complex tasks that involve different types, classes, and functions working in tandem.
This section is deprecated. Instead, add reference information to your code as Puppet Strings comments, and then use Strings to generate a REFERENCE.md in your module. For details on how to add code comments and generate documentation with Strings, see the Puppet Strings documentation and style guide
If you aren't ready to use Strings yet, manually create a REFERENCE.md in the root of your module directory and list out each of your module's classes, defined types, facts, functions, Puppet tasks, task plans, and resource types and providers, along with the parameters for each.
For each element (class, defined type, function, and so on), list:
- The data type, if applicable.
- A description of what the element does.
- Valid values, if the data type doesn't make it obvious.
- Default value, if any.
For example:
### `pet::cat`
#### Parameters
##### `meow`
Enables vocalization in your cat. Valid options: 'string'.
Default: 'medium-loud'.
In the Limitations section, list any incompatibilities, known issues, or other warnings.
In the Development section, tell other users the ground rules for contributing to your project and how they should submit their work.
If you aren't using changelog, put your release notes here (though you should consider using changelog). You can also add any additional sections you feel are necessary or important to include here. Please use the ##
