Cant create custom pipeline

[Sim-sat]

I'm trying to set up a custom pipeline for oidc with keycloak to set up groups. I'm following #13129 but I cant even create the file because of this error: django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.

I comes from the import at the top of the script. I created the file in /netbox-docker/configuration next to my configuration.py file.

from netbox.authentication import Group

def set_groups(response, user, backend, *args, **kwargs):
    django_groups = Group.objects.all()
    oidc_groups = response.get('groups', [])
    for group in django_groups:
        try:
            if group.name in oidc_groups:
                group.usersadd(user)
        except Group.DoesNotExist:
            continue

with this entry in my auth_pipeline:
'netbox.custom_pipeline.set_role'

NetBox-Version: 4.0.6

Thanks for your help

I figured out the solution. The file needs to be in /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox to be working correctly

It's probably best to avoid adding custom files in there. Instead you can place them in a custom folder and add it to the PYTHONPATH variable in Netbox systemd services.

I use /opt/netbox/netbox/local, it is already listed in .gitignore (and no PYTHONPATH edits needed, just use local.filename.functionname in the pipeline).

Thank you I will do that if that's the best practise. I'm happy that it works. We're using the docker version and since I didn't set it up myself it's kinda confusing without any documentation
