Netbox Secrets

This is the continuation of the NetBox Secretstore app. The original plugin is minimally maintained and has a lot of issues. This plugin is a complete rewrite of the original plugin. It is more generic and flexible than the original plugin. It is also regularly tested with the latest NetBox releases to ensure compatibility and stability.

Features

• Store secrets in the database encrypted with a public key (RSA)
• More generic and flexible than the original plugin (e.g. secrets can be assigned to any object in NetBox)
• Secrets can be assigned to contacts to associate them with a secret (e.g. SSH key)
• Updated user interface to make it easier to use and more intuitive to navigate
• Regularly tested with the latest NetBox releases to ensure compatibility and stability

FAQ

1. How can I migrate the data from netbox-secretstore?

Note: This is a one-way migration. You can't migrate back to netbox-secretstore. Ensure you do not have any data including tables for netbox-secrets already in the database

These instructions assume that you are running Netbox v3.4.x and the plugin version 1.7.x. Install a new version of netbox_secretstore as:

pip install git+https://github.com/Onemind-Services-LLC/netbox-secretstore@migration/nb34

Note: You should have netbox-secretstore v1.4.4 installed now.

Make sure to add both plugins to the configuration.py before the migration.

Run the migration:

python manage.py migrate

Finally, readjust the indices for the netbox-secrets plugin

python manage.py sqlsequencereset netbox_secrets

Run the output of the previous command in the database.

You can now remove netbox-secretstore from the application. You may have clean up your database of the old tables manually.
