Docker install of plugins with ansible

[Thor192]

I tried to deploy that box with Ansible with the appropriate plugins I want. Regardless of using Ansible I cannot get the plug insurance to install manually or with Ansible What am I doing wrong. Any eyes would be great i'm probably doing it all wrong I don't know what I'm doing I'm just some network guy with chat GPT and a dream

FROM netboxcommunity/netbox:latest

# Install git, curl, and python3-pip (won't be used, just for dependencies)
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y git curl && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Copy plugin requirements
COPY local_requirements.txt /etc/netbox/local_requirements.txt

# Bootstrap pip directly into NetBox virtualenv
RUN curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o /tmp/get-pip.py && \
    /opt/netbox/venv/bin/python /tmp/get-pip.py && \
    /opt/netbox/venv/bin/pip install -r /etc/netbox/local_requirements.txt && \
    rm /tmp/get-pip.py

As you can see i'm using local_requirements.txt

once the container is running all i get is this

🔌 Installing NetBox plugins from plugins.txt

Hi there,

Regarding your issue with installing plugins in the NetBox Docker container, the key is to follow the approach outlined in the official NetBox Docker documentation for plugin customization. Specifically, check out this page:
Using NetBox Plugins (netbox-docker wiki)

Hope that helps
