[Jason-MK]

Hello,

I'm trying to migrate my database to a new machine so I need to stop Netbox and each time I type

sudo systemctl stop netbox netbox-rq

I get this message

Failed to stop netbox.service: Unit netbox.service not loaded.
Failed to stop netbox-rq.service: Unit netbox-rq.service not loaded

Can anyone help me please in this I'm using debian 10

Best Regards

What version of Netbox are you running? If it's an older installation, the documentation used to say to use supervisord instead of systemd.

I'm using this version v3.0.2

If the version you're trying to stop was a fresh install of v3.0.2, and you followed the installation instructions fully, then you would have had systemd unit files.

If you didn't, then all I can say is "whatever method you used to start netbox, you need to undo"

For example, if you're running the development server with runserver as described here, then you need to find that window and hit Ctrl-C, or you need to find the process ID and kill it.
