## What it is
Docker images and docker-compose configuration for running NetBox, the open-source IP address management (IPAM) and data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tool. It packages NetBox and its dependencies (PostgreSQL, Redis) into containers published to Docker Hub, Quay.io, and GHCR.

## Use cases
- self-host netbox with docker compose
- deploy netbox as a container
- run netbox for IP address management
- set up a network source of truth quickly
- deploy netbox to kubernetes
- upgrade netbox via docker images

## When to choose
- you want the easiest containerized deployment of NetBox
- you need a community-maintained image with regular releases
- you want docker-compose or Kubernetes deployment guidance for NetBox

## When to avoid
- you need to develop NetBox itself rather than deploy it
- you prefer installing NetBox natively from source or system packages
- you use a different DCIM/IPAM tool

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: active
- function: container-runtime, deployment, self-hosted, developer-tools
- domain: self-hosted, infrastructure-as-code, networking
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: netbox, docker-compose, docker-image, ipam, dcim, network-documentation, infrastructure-source-of-truth, devops, docker, linux, kubernetes
