Version 0.19.0

This is a huge release that changes completely how this image is built:

• Using multi stage builds to
  • separate the compilation of the Python wheels
  • merge the two Dockerfiles into one
  • this results in Docker Images that are about half as big
• Downloading netbox externally
  • ... instead of in the Dockerfile
  • which makes it more efficient for Docker to cache the build layers
  • which reduces build time, especially locally
• Enable test builds for PRs
• Regularly build tags, and not only when a new Netbox version is released.

✅ If you just use the image to run Netbox, nothing should notably change for you.
✅ If you extend the image for your own purposes, nothing should change for your either.
⚠️ If you built the image yourself, you will either have to use ./build.sh or maintain your own Netbox clone. See the wiki page on building the Netbox Docker image.

0.16.0

This release reflects the fact that Netbox has grow up and moved out. The project's URL has changed from https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox to https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox.

At this point I would like to express my gratitude to Digitalocean for making Netbox opensource and sponsoring a huge part of it's development.

This release also includes a fix by @miso231, see #142. Thank you for your contribution!

There are also new options:

• REDIS_CACHE_DATABASE
• CACHE_TIMEOUT (set to 0 to disable caching)
• CHANGELOG_RETENTION
• CORS_ORIGIN_REGEX_WHITELIST (space separated list of regular expressions)

As always, it will take some time for the Docker images to appear on Docker Hub. Existing version tags before and including v2.5.13 will not be updated. 2.5 will only be updated if a new version v2.5.14 (or later) of Netbox is released.

Version 0.13.1: Django 2.2

Netbox recently upgraded to Django 2.2. To speed up the build this dependency is hardcoded in our Dockerfile. This releases addresses this incompatibility.
