Won't start in container due to wrong version check

[fleaz]

Hey,
I just installed 0.7.2 in our Netbox setup (4.2) which runs in k8s, and during startup I get errors like:

netbox packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: '4.2.4-Docker-3.2.0'

This is because Netbox changed their versioning scheme inside containers, and a plugin now needs to check settings.RELEASE.version instead of settings.VERSION.

This also happened to many other plugins like e.g. here: netbox-community/netbox-topology-views#608

Best,
Felix

Just updated our slightly cough deprecated Netbox from 4.2.4 to 4.4, and now the plugin works. So probably rather an issue with the old NB version than with the plugin itself.
