Netbox Reorder Rack Plugin

Allow the ability to reorder rack units in NetBox using a drag and drop interface.

Installation

NOTE: For docker please see: Docker install

The plugin is available as a Python package and can be installed with pip.

Run the following commands to install the required package after activating the virtual environment:

source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
pip install netbox-reorder-rack

To ensure the plugin is automatically re-installed during future upgrades, create a file named local_requirements.txt (if it does not exist already) in the NetBox root directory (alongside requirements.txt) and list the netbox-reorder-rack package:

echo netbox-reorder-rack >> local_requirements.txt

Once installed, the plugin needs to be enabled in your configuration.py

# In your configuration.py
PLUGINS = ["netbox_reorder_rack"]

You may need to collect static files and restart NetBox for the plugin to be properly installed.

python3 manage.py collectstatic --no-input
systemctl restart netbox
