[The Github repository](netbox-docker-github) houses the components needed to build NetBox as a Docker container.
Images are built using this code and are released to [Docker Hub][netbox-dockerhub] and [Quay.io][netbox-quayio] once a day.

## Docker Tags
* `vX.Y.Z`: These are release builds, automatically built from [the corresponding releases of NetBox][netbox-releases].
* `latest`: These are release builds, automatically built from [the `master` branch of NetBox][netbox-master].
* `snapshot`: These are pre-release builds, automatically built from the [`develop` branch of NetBox][netbox-develop].
* `develop-X.Y`: These are pre-release builds, automatically built from the corresponding [branch of NetBox][netbox-branches].
Then there is currently one extra tags for each of the above tags:
* `-ldap`: Contains additional dependencies and configurations for connecting NetBox to an LDAP directory.
[Learn more about that in our wiki][netbox-docker-ldap].
New images are built and published automatically every ~24h.

## Container Image Tags
New container images are built and published automatically every ~24h.
> We recommend to use either the `vX.Y.Z-a.b.c` tags or the `vX.Y-a.b.c` tags in production!
* `vX.Y.Z-a.b.c`, `vX.Y-a.b.c`:
These are release builds containing _NetBox version_ `vX.Y.Z`.
They contain the support files of _NetBox Docker version_ `a.b.c`.
You must use _NetBox Docker version_ `a.b.c` to guarantee the compatibility.
These images are automatically built from [the corresponding releases of NetBox][netbox-releases].
* `latest-a.b.c`:
These are release builds, containing the latest stable version of NetBox.
They contain the support files of _NetBox Docker version_ `a.b.c`.
You must use _NetBox Docker version_ `a.b.c` to guarantee the compatibility.
These images are automatically built from [the `master` branch of NetBox][netbox-master].
* `snapshot-a.b.c`:
These are pre-release builds.
They contain the support files of _NetBox Docker version_ `a.b.c`.
You must use _NetBox Docker version_ `a.b.c` to guarantee the compatibility.
These images are automatically built from the [`develop` branch of NetBox][netbox-develop].
For each of the above tag, there is an extra tag:
* `vX.Y.Z`, `vX.Y`:
This is the same version as `vX.Y.Z-a.b.c` (or `vX.Y-a.b.c`, respectively).
It always points to the latest version of _NetBox Docker_.
* `latest`
This is the same version as `latest-a.b.c`.
It always points to the latest version of _NetBox Docker_.
* `snapshot`
This is the same version as `snapshot-a.b.c`.
It always points to the latest version of _NetBox Docker_.
Then there is currently one extra tags for each of the above tags:
* `-ldap`:
These container images contain additional dependencies and configuration files for connecting NetBox to an LDAP directory.

To check the version installed on your system run `docker --version` and `docker-compose --version`.
## Breaking Changes
From time to time it might become necessary to re-engineer the structure of this setup.
Things like the `docker-compose.yml` file or your Kubernetes or OpenShift configurations have to be adjusted as a consequence.
Since November 2019 each image built from this repo contains a `org.opencontainers.image.version` label.
(The images contained labels since April 2018, although in November 2019 the labels' names changed.)
You can check the label of your local image by running `docker inspect netboxcommunity/netbox:v2.7.1 --format "{{json .Config.Labels}}"`.
## Updating
Please read [the release notes][releases] carefully when updating to a new image version.
Note that the version of the NetBox Docker container image must stay in sync with the code.
If you update for the first time, be sure [to follow our _How To Update NetBox Docker_ guide in the wiki][netbox-docker-wiki-updating].
