Hello, and thanks for this amazing piece of software! I'm having trouble with NetBox on NixOS 22.11: it doesn't allow me to create a new DeviceType, giving me an error as said in the title. To check, I started a straightforward installation from scratch, using the NixOS configuration options. The configuration is as below: {
inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.11";
outputs = {
self,
nixpkgs,
}: {
nixosConfigurations.container = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [
({
config,
pkgs,
...
}: {
boot.isContainer = true;
networking.useDHCP = false;
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [80];
services.netbox = {
enable = true;
secretKeyFile = pkgs.writeText "secret" "hello, world!";
extraConfig = ''
MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/lib/netbox/media'
REPORTS_ROOT = '/var/lib/netbox/reports'
SCRIPTS_ROOT = '/var/lib/netbox/scripts'
'';
};
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
recommendedGzipSettings = true;
recommendedOptimisation = true;
recommendedProxySettings = true;
recommendedTlsSettings = true;
virtualHosts."netbox-3" = {
locations = {
"/".proxyPass = "http://${config.services.netbox.listenAddress}:${toString config.services.netbox.port}";
"/static/".alias = "/var/lib/netbox/static/";
};
};
};
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [htop];
users.users.nginx.extraGroups = ["netbox"];
users.users.root.initialHashedPassword = "";
# Let 'nixos-version --json' know about the Git revision
# of this flake.
system.configurationRevision = nixpkgs.lib.mkIf (self ? rev) self.rev;
})
];
};
};
}With this configuration, I get NetBox 3.3.5 and a nginx reverse proxy. After going to the web UI, adding a manufacturer, trying to add any device type gives me this error. The log shows: Note that NixOS' netbox uses Django 4.1.4. Weird thing, if I create a new container with NetBox 3.2.1 (by switching to NixOS 22.05), Device Types can be added without issue. I can then upgrade the version of NetBox to have a more recent version. It seems that no-one else have encountered this issue? Hope someone from the community can give more insight on this error. I'm available if you need more details. Thanks again! |

I think the correct place to ask would be here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
Probably doesn't need to be said, but using other versions of packages is of course not supported. Netbox doesn't work with django 2.0 either. |

Everyone running the nix package would experience it would be my guess. Going blindly from django 4.0.8 to 4.1.4 includes breaking changes in django. It's a flaw in nix (or the specific nix netbox package) with regards to python packaging it seems. |

I'm planning on becoming a maintainer here which is why I'm asking the question in here, try and see if there's something we could do here. But you're entirely right in that 4.0.8 was still maintained (which for some reason I assumed it was not), so it's on the Nix side to ensure the correct version of the dependency is used. In the meantime, NetBox changed its requirements and now requires django 4.1, which inherently fixes my issue. Thanks for the reply! |

@minijackson We have the same problem now, so what is the fix or workaround here? |

Hi! Right now this should be fixed in this PR: NixOS/nixpkgs#206983 but I haven't had the time yet to answer RaitoBezarius' comments. I'll get on that as soon as I can. |

I got impatient and applied your changes as a patch and it works now, thank you. |
