A sanitized community NetBox appliance for a fresh vSphere deployment. Start with the attached step-by-step Deployment Guide (DOCX).

New in 1.1.0

  • VCF Operations inventory observations, with multiple independently configured instances and adapter scopes. vCenter remains the source for core VM inventory.
  • Authoritative Windows DNS discovery using two agreeing, owner-authorized AXFR replicas. Within existing NetBox prefixes, it creates missing IP records, updates DNS names and reconciles unambiguous address moves. It does not write DNS or delete IP records.
  • Updated first-boot recovery behavior and an Ubuntu host OS patch baseline refreshed on 5 October 2026.

Included

Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS, NetBox 4.7.0, connector plugin 1.1.0, PostgreSQL 18, Valkey 9.1 and bundled runtime container images. Optional vCenter VM/cluster inventory, UniFi VLAN/prefix/DHCP pool synchronization, DNS reconciliation, VCF Operations observations and encrypted SFTP backups are configured through the superuser connector page.

4 vCPU, 8 GiB RAM, 64 GiB system disk and a new blank 100 GiB data disk. Map the Management network, power on and complete the console prompts. There is no shared factory password, original inventory, configured connection or owner credential. Connectors start disabled and require your own settings, credentials and trust configuration.

Validation of this exact OVA

Fresh vCenter import, interactive first boot using DHCP, six healthy containers, certificate-validated HTTPS administrator login, connector administration, reboot persistence and recovery console sign-in passed on 5 October 2026. Eighteen synthetic application checks and five isolated backup/recovery checks passed, including incorrect SFTP host-key rejection, encrypted upload/readback, decryption and a separate PostgreSQL restore. The exported disk passed 16 targeted privacy checks.

Static addressing was not retested end to end. External connectors were tested with controlled fixtures; validate your own endpoint versions, accounts, certificates, DNS zone-transfer permissions and recovery process during onboarding. The configured standard Ubuntu repositories reported zero pending upgrades at build time; maintain OS and container updates after deployment.

The three Word guides cover deployment, building and release verification. NetBox-Appliance-1.1.0-source.zip is the appliance source bundle; GitHub's automatically generated source archives contain only this repository's documents.

This is an unsigned community appliance, not an official NetBox or VMware distribution. This release is for a fresh deployment, not an in-place upgrade. The previous v0.1.0 release remains available for historical reference.
