+To reduce the chances of conflicts with your files when updating the Netbox Docker folder you are advised to create a separate `initializers` folder.

+Begin by making a copy of the existing folder. Then edit (or create) your `docker-compose.override.yml` file. Edit the file and add/merge the following keys and value:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.4'
+services:
