Completed a bunch of things in the lab today, including a variety of failures which resulted in earned learning.

Netbox:
I have been wanting to use Netbox as an IPAM/DCIM solution in the lab. The main draw has been so I can organize my network. I was hoping to be able to use the Proxmox SDN IPAM functionality to automatically import VM's, IP's, etc.

I was able to get it spun up in Docker and configured a variety of CI's but after adding it to the SDN configuration I don't see any activity even when including the API. I also verified the API URL and it's working so I don't know if there's something else necessary to start getting new items in Netbox from Proxmox. I looked around in the forums and didn't see anything useful.

For now I am stuck with manual additions until I can figure out why Proxmox can't push updates over. I did see there is a specific plugin called netbox-proxbox but I would have to build that plugin into Netbox and I'm not ready to do that just yet. It looks like that plugin basically requests the data from Proxmox in more of a pull approach.

I'm posting more in the replies below so I don't spam the feeds. Read on if you'd like -->

#Tinyproxy is a lightweight yet powerful #opensource HTTP proxy, which can be used as both forward and reverse #HTTP #proxy. In order to properly verify and monitor Tinyproxy, there are a couple of things to look at. 👇
