Variables which are arrays are usually composed by putting all the values into the same environment variables with the values separated by a whitespace ("` `").

### NAPALM Configuration
Since v2.1.0 NAPALM has been tightly integrated into NetBox.
NAPALM allows NetBox to fetch live data from devices and return it to a requester via its REST API.
To learn more about what NAPALM is and how it works, please see the documentation from the [libary itself][napalm-doc] or the documentation from [NetBox][netbox-napalm-doc] on how it is integrated.

Netbox includes [customized reporting][netbox-reports-doc] that allows the user to write Python code and determine the validity of the data within Netbox.
The `REPORTS_ROOT` variable is setup as a mapped directory within this Docker container to `/reports/` and includes the example directly from the documentation for `devices.py`.
However, it has been renamed to `devices.py.example` which prevents NetBox from recognizing it as a valid report.

Things like the `docker-compose.yml` file or your Kubernetes or OpenShift configurations have to be adjusted as a consequence.

## Rebuilding & Publishing images
`./build.sh` is used to rebuild the Docker image:
```
$ ./build.sh --help
Usage: ./build.sh <branch> [--push]
branch The branch or tag to build. Required.
--push Pushes built Docker image to docker hub.
You can use the following ENV variables to customize the build:
BRANCH The branch to build.
Also used for tagging the image.
DOCKER_REPO The Docker registry (i.e. hub.docker.com/r/DOCKER_REPO/netbox)
Also used for tagging the image.
Default: ninech
SRC_REPO Which fork of netbox to use (i.e. github.com/<SRC_REPO>/netbox).
Default: digitalocean
URL Where to fetch the package from.
Must be a tar.gz file of the source code.
Default: https://github.com/${SRC_REPO}/netbox/archive/$BRANCH.tar.gz
```
`./build.sh` can be used to rebuild the Docker image. See `./build.sh --help` for more information.
### Publishing Docker Images
New Docker Images are built and published every 24h by using travis:
