NetBox 4.2-4.7 deployment and upgrade knowledge the official netboxlabs/skills marketplace does not cover — deploying or upgrading NetBox on Kubernetes with the netbox-community helm chart (netbox-chart), external PostgreSQL/valkey wiring, API token bootstrap on 4.5+ (nbt_ v2 tokens), plugin installation in the official image, version-migration planning across 4.2-4.7, module type profiles, front/rear port (patch panel) API changes, and OIDC/SSO group-to-role mapping. Gap-filler only: for…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# NetBox Best Practices (helm + version deltas) This skill COMPLEMENTS the official `netboxlabs/skills` marketplace (`/plugin marketplace add netboxlabs/skills`). For data modeling, IPAM design, API patterns, Diode ingestion, or validation, consult those skills first — they are maintained upstream and authoritative. This skill covers four areas they do not (as of 2026-06): 1. **netbox-chart (helm) deployment gotchas** → `references/helm-chart-gotchas.md` 2. **NetBox 4.2→4.7 version-delta cheat sheet** → `references/version-deltas.md` 3. **Modeling gaps**: module type profiles (4.3+), port-mapping rework (4.5) → `references/modeling-gaps.md` 4. **SSO/OIDC group→role mapping + hardening** → `references/sso-hardening.md` Evidence labels used throughout: `[source]` = verified against chart/NetBox source code (file:line cited); `[docs]` = official docs/release notes (4.2–4.6: adversarially verified, 3-vote panel). ## Upgrading to 4.7 — gates [docs + live 2026-10-27] From the 4.7.0–4.7.3 release notes, plus one live 4.6.10 → 4.7.3 hop. | Gate | What it means for a Kubernetes install | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add air-gapped/skills/netbox-best-practices@sha256:f1f16d7274753ad4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.4b5fb58, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
