There is a more complete [_Getting Started_ guide on our wiki][wiki-getting-started] which explains every step.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone -b release https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker.git
|
||||
cd netbox-docker
|
||||
tee netbox-docker.override.yml <<EOF

|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
docker-compose up
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The application will be available after a few minutes.
|
||||
Use `docker-compose port nginx 8080` to find out where to connect to.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ echo "http://$(docker-compose port nginx 8080)/"
|
||||
http://0.0.0.0:32768/
|
||||
|
||||
# Open netbox in your default browser on macOS:
|
||||
$ open "http://$(docker-compose port nginx 8080)/"
|
||||
|
||||
# Open netbox in your default browser on (most) linuxes:
|
||||
$ xdg-open "http://$(docker-compose port nginx 8080)/" &>/dev/null &
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, use something like [Reception][docker-reception] to connect to _docker-compose_ projects.
|
||||
|
||||
The whole application will be available after a few minutes.
|
||||
Open the URL `http://0.0.0.0:8000/` in a web-browser.
|
||||
You should see the Netbox homepage.
|
||||
In the top-right corner you can login.
