🔥🔥🔥 NetBox DNS has moved to a new home 🔥🔥🔥

[peteeckel]

Hi,

as it seems, Auroraresearchlab, the maintainers of this package, have silently left us. Unfortunately there was no notice or handover, so the only way to go on right now seems to be to fork the repo.

Since NetBox 3.5 is out and the last official version of NetBox DNS does not work with the new release, I did a quick fork and published the plugin on PyPI as netbox-plugin-dns. Currently there is a beta version 0.18.0b1, which should be fine for all practial purposes. Unfortunately I don't have much time right now and can't set everything up all the workflows properly, so the real 0.18.0 will have to wait until June.

I hope this quick (and slightly dirty) fix will help users who want to migrate to NetBox 3.5.

Declaring the version beta will also help moving back should Aurora come back. Currently it doesn't seem probable, though.

Thanks,

Pete.

Hi @peteeckel, would you mind if I were to maintain a fork based on your changes ?

Hi @jsenecal, after checking that Aurorareasearchlab is really gone I forked myself. But thanks! :-)

@peteeckel Would be be alright if I fork this under my organition and I can add you as a maintianer over there to help to the project alive? I have already forked a few other and we want to keep projects like this alive and in one place for others to find and help us make them better.

If you agree, I can have this up in the next hour and even have a release out for 3.5 by tomorrow along with our other maintained plugins.

Thanks, but as I said: I did already fork it, and it's available on PyPI as netbox-plugin-dns. Everything is safe and sound.

@peteeckel Thank you so much for your work forking and maintaining this project! Would it be possible to re-open this issue (or open a new one) with an eye-catching title for other people that are looking at this repo for an update path (like myself)? Having this notice in the closed issues takes a bit of extra digging to turn up that this repo is no longer maintained and that your fork should be used instead.

Thanks again for keeping this awesome project alive!

You're right - as a closed issue it doesn't make too much sense.

So for anyone looking for the project: It's here now.
